BBC Radio 4 - Last Word, Arthur Goldreich, Peter Falk, Terry Marsland and Mario Cassandro

John Wilson on Arthur Goldreich, Peter Falk, Terry Marsland and Mario Cassandro.

John Wilson on the anti-apartheid activist Arthur Goldreich, the actor Peter Falk, the union activist and feminist campaigner Terry Marsland and the restaurateur Mario Cassandro.

John Wilson on:

Arthur Goldreich, who sheltered and taught the young Nelson Mandela and led the armed wing of the ANC in the fight against South African apartheid.

Crime writer Mark Billingham pays tribute to actor Peter Falk who created shambolic television detective Columbo.

We hear about union activist - and feminist campaigner - Terry Marsland.

And restaurateur Mario Cassandro - who helped introduce Italian cuisine to 1950s Britain - is remembered by chef Antonio Carluccio.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
