Ernie Rea chooses his highlights from BBC Radio.

Ernie Rea chooses his highlights from BBC Radio, including gun-toting gospel singers, extreme forgiveness and 4x4s that just do not give a damn.

The best of BBC Radio this week on Pick of the Week with Ernie Rae which includes the story of a member of the Goering Family who used his own money to save Jews from the Gas Chambers; then the woman who pleaded with the American courts not to execute the man who murdered her daughter: and the Gospel Singer who toted a pistol which she called Little Ethel to make sure she got paid. We hear from the man who climbed a mountain just ten months after he lost both legs in a mountaineering accident. And for light relief, Nigel Kennedy plays Jimi Hendrix.

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