ANSWER: All based or borrowed heavily on classical music:

2:10  The 747 Question - Grant Benns: It was one of the questions of the day ..can a 747 perform a loop the loop?
It came up during our chat with Steve McCabe yesterday ..during a conversation about interesting science websites.
That 747 question prompted many other questions and comments from you, including whether helicopters could perform the manoeuvre. Clearly these are matters an expert needs to deal with .. so, Simon talks with a current Air New Zealand pilot who also happens to be president of the New Zealand Aerobatic Club?

3:45  What The World's Talking About  today with Zoe George: In the frustrating age of contradictory health advice we're not told "No, don't take aspirin to prevent strokes". And a turnaround too on how much exercise we need daily, especially in middle life. The fascinating justification from the British government of their internet snooping, China comes out against independence for Scotland, perfectly good potatoes going to waste in Britain because consumers don't like cutting them. People don't like the new tap & go cards either, as we know, but soon it'll be palm & go thanks to vein-scanning technology, and it may not be so easy after all to get rid of your fear of spiders.
