Stewart Henderson introduces his selection of highlights from the past week on BBC radio.

Stewart Henderson makes his selection from the past seven days of BBC Radio



All manner of characters will be parading through the programme this week with a Singing Postman, verbose Trade Union leaders stunning their audience into a collective stupor, and a man building a tree house in a rain forest being attacked by several thousand bees.

There's moving testimony from Jewish survivors of the Kindertransport generation who as children in the 1930's were forced to flee from Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia as the Nazis turned many parts of Europe into a sinister detention centre; and The Blitz is also recalled by way of the part Birmingham factory workers played when Britain increased arms production to combat the expansion of The Third Reich...

And to lighten the mood Sue Perkins will amaze when she articulately gabbles away on the glory that is her...vegetable patch.
