BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, 31/08/2014Close menu

John Waite chooses his highlights from the previous seven days of BBC Radio.

There's a poetic feel to this week's Pick of the Week, as John Waite re-plays clips from programmes that feature the voice of Seamus Heaney, the characters of Dylan Thomas, the verse of Simon Armitage and the life- story of Philip Larkin. From the sublime there's also the ridiculous as 'Sue MacGregor' meets three of the four Apostles. And some real "heavy metal" with a duo for cello... and saw.
