The best of BBC Radio this week with Sheila McClennon.

This Easter weekend we celebrate 100 years of the birth of the RAF and the heroic missions that would make James Bond flinch. And Bond is back in a new radio adaptation on the trail of the villainous Drax.

Militon's epic poem is brought to life by Sir Ian Mckellen and a serpent voiced by Simon Russell Beale. If you've had your fill of chocolate and fancy something a bit different - how about jelly fish or insects? Very nice steamed with ginger evidently and an excellent source of protein. 

Martha Kearney signs off without trousers and Nigel Havers dons his Dad's suit to move like Jagger. 

Presenter: Sheila McClennon 
Producer: Stephen Garner

Production Support: Tim Fernley.
