BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, John McCarthyClose menu

The best of BBC Radio this week with journalist John McCarthy.

Journalist John McCarthy chooses his BBC Radio highlights.

Among the thrills in John McCarthy's box of audio fireworks this evening are sparklers from 40 years of the news quiz, a banger of a bottle of ancient wine, and Greg James getting in a spin over Prue Leith. 

We're on the tail of Miles Jupp rocketing through Transylvania and exploring ways of sleeping after all the whizz bangs. 

So, light the blue touch paper and stand back for Pick of the Week 

Producer: Stephen Garner
Production Team: Kay Bishton, Tim Fernley and Alice Platt.

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