The Projectile programme begins with a live web link to the world's favourite libertarian socialist, Noam Chomsky, including a Q and A on anarchism. Famous initially in the field of linguistics, Chomsky has become the leading theorist of American power and foreign policy. He has also made a massive contribution to our understanding of propaganda and the role of the mass media.

11.30pm - FILM: Lady Snowblood 2 (Dir Toshiya Fujita, 89min), Star and Shadow Cinema
In Friday midnight's movie, Yuki, the avenging heroine of Lady Snowblood, returns. To escape the gallows she must accept a mission to kill the dangerous anarchist Tokunaga Ransui. Will she succeed? Perhaps you can guess the rest...
In Lady Snowblood 2, Director Toshiya Fujita creates a visually stunning followup to the original gorefest. It will not surprise you to know that the Lady Snowblood were the inspiration for Tarantino's Kill Bill movies.
