Stewart Henderson chooses his BBC Radio highlights.

Stewart Henderson grapples with the absurd, art and artifice in his BBC radio highlights.

Who would have thought it?.....Snow White as a Biblical epic, honest...

Also, we're introduced to the defiant stories of a Russian absurdist writer during 

the Stalin era. There's an art outrage as hugely expensive works are incinerated 

in a warehouse fire, and we join Gandhi on a pacifist pilgrimage against British 

rule. Plus, another rebel attracts admiration, Ken Dodd taking on the much 

refreshed ranks of The Glasgow Empire...What a cast list that can be heard on Stewart Henderson's pick of the best of BBC Radio this week.

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