BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, Sheila McClennonClose menu

The best of BBC radio this week with Sheila McClennon.

It's all about the creative process this week with Shelia McClennon; historically there's the making of the Bayeux tapestry and a Flemish Master's nightmarish vision. We've musician Karine Polwart on finding inspiration in the Scottish landscape and Maestro Marin Alsop with a conducting masterclass. 

There's Francoise Frenkel's gripping testimony on the run in occupied France and a fascinating explanation of how the mythical Magic Money Tree actually works. 
And plenty of laughs too as John Finnemore's team try to invent new animals and brooding Swedish detective Knut Angstrom tries to solve a murder. 

Producer: Stephen Garner
Production Support: Dave James.

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