Gerry Northam makes his selection of the best of BBC Radio this week.

This past week brought a moving programme based on the Welsh choral classic Myfanwy. And a wonderfully comic series of dramas written by and starring Rebecca Front and her brother Jeremy. We also heard: Jack Dee's masterclass in the art of the put-down; the Indian jazz trumpeter Chic Chocolate, the Satchmo of Bombay; and the man who teaches Glaswegian English to newly-arrived Polish bus-drivers.
All that and Kenneth Branagh ablaze in Shakespeare.
Produced by Dave James
