Singer and broadcaster Catherine Bott picks the best of BBC Radio this week.

Singer and broadcaster Catherine Bott makes her pick of the best of BBC Radio this week.

Included in Catherine Bott's Pick of the Week are lots of opportunities to find out how others see us; as we hear a German take on English interior decor, and Brigitte Bardot recalls a visit to London and a “pub de l’age de Charles Dickens”.  There's the remarkable story of Queen Victoria's final days told by her dresser, and an elegy for the World War One soldiers drowned just miles from home.  Meghan gets a rap-style royal welcome from her new father-in-law, there's teenage frolics on the Strawberry line, the adulterous shenanigans of Victor Hugo, as well as music to croodle by, to console, and, to invigorate a dull January.

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