The best of BBC Radio, chosen by Sheila McClennon.

On Pick of the Week this week with Sheila McClennon.

How an Icelandic composer has converted knitting instructions into music, a master class in yodelling and Radio Three turns up Handel's volume for a Comic Relief one off. There's the Death rattle of the American dream in downtown Detroit and the late great Charles Wheeler on what he believed was President Richard Nixon's worse deed - and it wasn't Watergate. And on the 40th anniversary of Noel Coward's death - a heart-warming drama on the caring man behind the clipped tones.
That's Pick of the Week with Sheila McClennon
