Broadcaster Liz Barclay makes her pick of the week.

Broadcaster Liz Barclay makes her choice of the best of this week's radio.

Broadcaster Liz Barclay's pick of the week provides the perfect antidote to that post Christmas lull. We hear the best and the worst family gatherings can bring, we're joined by the Doctor, and Miles Jupp is back with a new series of the news Quiz, while Michael Caine is blowing the bloody doors off. Neil Gaiman shares the list of books and writings that have been important in his life, and comedian Mark Thomas explains the song that means the most to him. There are disturbing tales of seal folk from Scotland, we learn how to play Beethoven with the Southbank Sinfonia chamber orchestra, and Paddington Bear has his own musical adventure.

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