Sheila McClennon chooses her highlights from the previous seven days of BBC Radio.

Amorous spiders, Marlon Brando's plumbing skills and a New York drag queen in search of a corset are just some of this week's highlights.
There are memories of the Gresford Colliery Disaster in Wales 80 years ago and how it inspired a beautiful melody that's been adopted by miners as their hymn.
Paul Merton and Nicholas Parsons conduct a Just a minute Masterclass
Oh and there's also Gyles Brandreth's Love Sausage but probably the least said about that the better...
That's Pick of the Week with Sheila McClennon at 6.15 this Sunday evening.
