BBC Radio 4 - Saturday Live, Richard Coles and Sian Williams with Pam Ayres and the Inheritance Tracks of Neil Sedaka

Sian Williams and Richard Coles with poet Pam Ayres.

Sian Williams and Richard Coles with poet Pam Ayres, Benedict Allen discussing the visceral thrill of 'dangerous' travel, and the Inheritance Tracks of Neil Sedaka.

Sian Williams and Richard Coles meet Pam Ayres, talk to artist Annie Morgan who can't stop painting, etching and sculpting- a compulsion that began after she tried to take her own life by jumping under a train, hear from former Flt Lt Alan Pollock who remembers his time in the RAF- he abruptly left in 1968 having decided to fly his Hunter fighter bomber under Tower Bridge on the river Thames, follow up on last week's discussion about squatting with former squatter Rosie Ellis, find out why on earth J.P. Devlin went to Hackney with Les McKeown of The Bay City Rollers, swoon to Neil Sedaka's Inheritance Tracks and thrill to Benedict Allen musing on the pleasures of 'dangerous' travel.

Producer: Chris Wilson.

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