Sheila McClennon makes her selection from the week's radio.

Sheila McClennon makes her selection from the past seven days of BBC Radio.

This week, why Winston Churchill never gave up his childhood toys and the Rise and Rise of the Third Reich - why it's the publishing world's surprise success story. Gary Bellamy almost gets a Royal exclusive on Down the Line whilst Matt Everitt does get Queen. There's also Gershwin, a tipsy Sinatra and the story behind one of the most successful records ever - Bob Newhart's Button Down Mind and how it very nearly didn't get made at all.
