Last night's Sunday Feature had this title and subject. Is the World Service talk a repeat or something different?

Same presenters, so presumably essentially the same programme, although the World Service version appears to be 9 minutes longer..

I heard the R3 Sunday Feature - it was very good. He really was not a well man most of his life. His infamous irrascibility was possibly related to his health problems, and to what he ate and drank (extremely strong coffee, and wine contaminated with lead, for example).
