Stewart Henderson presents highlights from the previous seven days of BBC Radio.

Stewart Henderson has been up above the sombre clouds this week hearing how the poem, An Irish Airman Foresees His Death, by WB Yeats came to be. There's also a remarkable peace walk remembered, at the end of which an intended meeting with President Kennedy sadly didn't take place. And despite Soviet censorship, the eventual triumph of Boris Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago is recalled.
