BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, 30/11/2014Close menu

John Waite chooses his BBC Radio highlights.

This week's Pick of the Week features actor Sam West on why he's the number one fan of the shipping forecast; Radio 3 goes in for a spot of triple-tonguing with a trombone that thinks it's in its third trimester; and there's a salute to one of the most popular radio programmes of all time – it had millions of listeners during its half-century on air – and yet how many editions are kept in the BBC archive? Just three. Join John Waite then to hear some rare radio “gold".

BBC Radio 4
