John Waite picks his best of BBC Radio this week.

This week John Waite picks his highlights of BBC radio. 
A star is born - due to popular demand from Pick of the Week listeners we reprise the Radio 4 continuity announcer who slipped into song. How a legend was ruined - what the big screen has done to England’s most iconic rebel Robin Hood. And why Hollywood’s top agent bought 500 new shirts a year but still had to dress down his client Count Basie. 
We also hear old folk songs, cartoon opera, and Dumfries' favorite poet.

Producer: Dave James
Production support: Helen Surtees

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