John Waite introduces his selection of highlights from the past week on BBC radio.

John Waite makes his selection from the past seven days of BBC Radio

John Waite turns super-sleuth for Pick of the Week on Sunday. Tracking down the tortured beginnings of the musical "Evita", and the no-less tortured home-life of that nice couple of homicidal maniacs, the Macbeths. He turns his detective skills to revealing why famous fictional detectives are murdered by their creators. And what happened to a whole town - it's there on the map, but seems to have disappeared in reality. As to how you get a tune out of a series of cats - well, that's a three pipe problem. See if John can crack it by tuning in to Pick of the Week. The game's afoot at 6.15.
