BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, 27/10/2013Close menu

Liz Barclay chooses the best of the previous seven days of BBC Radio.

The most valuable book in football history, the worst poet in the English language and the Blues greats making their UK debut in a disused railway station all form part of the rich tapestry that is this week's Pick of the Week. There are some fascinating insights into past, and more recent, economic policies and their impacts, into the typical day in the life of a female farmer in Uganda, and into the role of women in the world's most successful gang of diamond thieves. So join Liz Barclay for Pick of the Week.
