Antonia Quirke makes her selection of the best of the previous seven days of BBC Radio.

Today, old punks and new doctors, matinee idols and scurrilous composers. Bamboo flutes and sesame oil and a trip back in time to when Cicero was big in Fife.

It's autumn, that unexpectedly melancholy month when everyone is on holiday except you and it feels a bit like February in Summer. So some extra famous names to spoil and entertain. Jane Austen, Chopin, Vivaldi, Beethoven, Ivor Novello, Samuel Pepys and a lowly wolf spider basking on a rock in Bristol.
