Sheila McClennon chooses her BBC Radio highlights from the past week.

In this edition Alan Bennett gets lost in translation, we feature James Dean the original poster boy for teenage angst and Bill Bryson on why, in Britain, you are never more than five miles away from something significant.

Looking further afield, why the chances of finding life on another planet are pretty high, why home computers in the 1980s were still in the realm of science fiction and if you're a bit casual about cleaning your bedding - we've got something that will really bug you!

This week's Pick of the iPlayer is The Reunion: Talking Heads

Producer: Stephen Garner.
