John Waite chooses his BBC Radio highlights.

Leisure pursuits seem to be a bit of a theme in this week's Pick of the Week. 

Jeffrey Bernard (in the guise of actor John Hurt) fills his spare hours with vodka, cigarettes and barbed bon mots. Whereas veteran radio producer Piers Plowright loves going al fresco with a bracing dip in Hampstead ponds. 
Rugby star Brian Moore likes nothing more than listening to a good aria - while sound recordist Chris Watson's set on following the journey of an Icelandic ice ship as it makes its way to the sea. That should keep him busy for the next ten thousand years.

So, if you've a spare moment, why not join John Waite for his Pick of the Week this Sunday evening at 6.15.
