BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, 29/07/2012

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

This week the mythical monarchy of Ruritania - why has a country that doesn't exist captured the creative imagination so? Rebecca Front reveals why Mike Leigh was less than impressed with her unintentional poltergeist impression and Rhona Cameron lurches from one hopeless crush to another - as she revisits her teenage Diary. 

There are the letters which kept a family together after their sons were sent to fight on the Russian Front 

And those iconic blondes Marilyn Monroe and Eva Peron, who decades after they both died in their thirties, are still casting a spell over the public. 


That's Pick of the Week with Sheila McClennon on Sunday evening at a quarter past six.
