BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, 23/11/2014Close menu

This week we have Mother Courage in various guises, from the mum who took on a South London gang with love - and apple crumble, to Karen in The Listening Project reassuring her daughter that all will be well when she's gone. A scorching performance by Sorcha Cusack desperately holding house and home together in Juno and the Paycock. We eavesdrop on the poignant final meeting of the Normandy Veterans Association, and the sweetest proposal between Henry and Christine for whom the lyrics, 'take my hand, take my whole life too' have a whole new meaning when your combined age is 158.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
