BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, 29/09/2013Close menu

The best of the previous seven days of BBC Radio, chosen by Stuart Maconie.

This week, no stone unturned and no turn un-stoned as we celebrate the Working Man's Club, the original Big Society. Also, find out how rats learn to be ticklish, how dreams keep you asleep and why Johann Sebastian Bach was the Bill Gates of his day. Plus John Steinbeck, Evelyn Waugh, a light-hearted guide to the conflict in the Middle East, the Forton junction of the M6 motorway and Quentin Tarantino sings the Bear Necessities. Well, almost.
