BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, Antonia Quirke

Antonia Quirke chooses her BBC Radio highlights.

In Antonia Quirke's festive edition of Pick of the Week we travel from ancient Persia to the Slad valley via elvish church-bells in Iceland and Mowhawk cries along The Great Lakes, the stirring of pomegranate-studded puddings in Palestine, and five kilos of cheddar eaten on a night-in with dad. Phantasmagorical warnings, an (infuriating) non-wedding-wedding (!) and Proust read by the light of a glow-worm.

Produced by Cecile Wright in Salford.

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