Gerry Northam chooses his BBC Radio highlights.

In Pick Of The Week, snooker champion Steve Davis puts aside his 'Mr Boring' image as he challenges Dominic Lawson across the chess board. There's music from Mozart; and the extraordinary delusion which makes patients convinced they are made of glass.

Shakespeare and Queen Anne together on the day The Globe theatre burned to the ground; and Sir Anthony Sher explains how hard it was to turn himself into Falstaff.

Join Gerry Northam for his Pick Of The Week at 6.15.

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