The best of BBC Radio this week with Simon Parkes

Separation, borders and attempting to cross them in states of flux seems to loom large in this edition of Pick of the Week. Oh! We're nothing if not topical. 

There's the sea between Ulster and Scotland, a refugee boat trip between Calais and Dover and a mountain path from China into Tibet. They bring hardship, but they also bring radio riches. 

Presenter: Simon Parkes

Producer: Stephen Garner

Production support: Vanessa Ford & 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.
