Paddy O'Connell on neighbourhood plans to resist a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine. Also a fond tribute to University Challenge and a preview of the French elections.
Will there be war within days? The alarming reports from the US and UK intelligence services suggest so; people in Ukraine are less sure, and we hear from one of them joining the neighbourhood resistance in case of a Russian invasion. Frank Cottrell Boyce remembers Bamber Gascoigne and the joys of the programme he made famous, University Challenge - buzzers at the ready. Also today: half term travel plans and the BH guide to the French elections which are coming soon. Adam Rutherford, Helen Pidd and Lucy Fisher review the news, and Paddy reports on the Russian ballet dancers crossing the diplomatic divide to play to sell out crowds around the UK.
