Gerry Northam chooses the best of BBC Radio this week.

In Pick Of The Week, we join a production of Shakespeare's Henry V featuring a cast of former soldiers who identify strongly with the characters they play. What's more they find that drama is therapy for their post-traumatic stress.

Principal ballerina Tamara Rojo (Roko) introduces the music which calms her down; Hugh Bonneville finds himself transported to a parallel universe; Tom Conti recalls his father, an Italian hairdresser in Paisley; and we discover the origins of Muzak.

Join Gerry Northam for his highlights of the week's listening.
