Gerry Northam chooses his BBC Radio highlights.

In Gerry Northam's Pick Of The Week we drop in on one of Frank Sinatra's greatest moments on stage and re-create Richard Briers' visit to Terry-Thomas in his 1980s retirement home in Majorca. Andrew Motion worries what he'll look like sitting for a new portrait. A Republican Senator breaks off from a speech to read his children a bedtime story live on tv from the U.S. Congress. And the 9 year-old Nigel Slater finds biscuits comforting after the trauma of his mother's death.

BBC Radio 4

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