BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, 02/12/2012Close menu

Stewart Henderson makes his selection from the past seven days of BBC Radio.

An inspirational cycling heroine of yesteryear, Beryl Burton shows us how it used to be done in Pick Of The Week. And going further back into history we witness the grand opening of the original Broadcasting House in London as the King and Queen sweep past us into the foyer. Hardeep Singh Kohli nearly drops his spatula preparing lunch, hearing from a couple for whom weight loss was a literal matter of life or death.

And we hear a rare recording of Kenny Everett when he was Mr. Saturday Morning on Radio 1. All, and more in Pick Of The Week, presented by Stewart Henderson.
