Ian McMillan introduces his selection of highlights from the past week on BBC radio.

Ian McMillan makes his selection from the last seven days of BBC Radio

On Pick of the Week this week Ian McMillan is constantly surprised: he's surprised by how poetic and mystical skips are; he's surprised by the Prime Minister's horse racing tips and the life of a lady bouncer and the whereabouts of the European cup in 1982; and he's absolutely flabbergasted by the arguments the Beatles before they climbed onto that roof to sing Get Back. And he's almost speechless when somebody mistakes him for John Shuttleworth because, let's face it, he sounds nothing like him.
