BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, 08/05/2011Close menu

Radio 4's weekly pick of the best programmes on this and other BBC networks.

Caz Graham makes her selection from the past seven days of BBC Radio.

In Pick of the Week tonight we discover why Harrison Birtwhistle is composing a Requiem for a Moth, the best way to catch a basking adder, and ask does Matthew Parris deserve a BAFTA for a stellar performance as Lewis Carroll's Plum Pudding?

There's a trip to Bavaria with the Monty Python team, a saunter round the Festival of Britain and also, following the death of Osama Bin Laden, we have moving testimony from the New York banking boss who lost more than 500 staff and his own brother on September the 11th. 

All that and another chance to hear a smashing bit of cricket commentary, an excellent listen even if you don't like cricket.
