BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, 06/07/2014

Nick Baker presents highlights from the previous seven days of BBC Radio.

In this week's Pick Nick Baker immerses himself in the world of sound. We hear about places along the border that separates the north and south of Ireland - dangerous and unknown but beautiful and strange. We get lighter than air with a paraglider, daydreaming about the delights of the blue sky. We follow the story of the last Maharajah of the Sikh Empire and the campaign to have his remains exhumed and returned to India. We find out how local people in Cambridge helped to create a dish which captures the town's geography, history and culture. Oh and the return of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue!
