With Great Pleasure at Christmas

BBC Radio 4 - With Great Pleasure, With Great Pleasure at ChristmasSearch BBC

A celebration of favourite readings with Fi Glover and guests.

Fi Glover presents a festive selection of her favourite pieces of writing. With Rosie Cavaliero, Kate Fox, Mark Meadows and the Exultate Singers.

A festive edition of the programme which invites a celebrity to raid their memories in search of the pieces of writing and music which best sum up their lives. Fi Glover, one of the BBC's most cherished radio presenters, steps up with a wonderfully varied selection of readings, from a nursery rhyme to Aristotle by way of Alan Bennett and John Mortimer. She even includes a fully-practical recipe for a very special dessert.

The readers are Rosie Cavaliero and Mark Meadows, who are joined by poet Kate Fox, and the Exultate Singers provide the finishing celebratory touch.

Producer Christine Hall.
