The best of BBC Radio this week with Helen Lederer.

Helen Lederer chooses her BBC Radio highlights.

This week we peek into Robbie Burns's hangover from hell and how to apologise for bad behaviour, a highly successful, if surprising, pioneering transplant from ones persons nether regions to another - and how sexing up vernacular can both sell and surprise - whether its carrots in a bottle or John Humphries selling 'life' as the new must have ...whatever next? 
There's music and dance plus Steven K Amos's guide to failing exams in style. This week's iPlayer pick comes from David Sedaris.

Presenter: Helen Lederer
Producer: Stephen Garner
Production Support: Kay Bishton.

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