The best of BBC Radio this week with author and broadcaster Jim Al-Khalili.

Author and broadcaster Jim Al-Khalili makes his pick of the best of this week's BBC Radio.

This week Sir Elton John, Russell Kane and African American country and western singer Charley Pride all give different perspectives on their childhood aspirations and inspirations. There's poetry for the people, and the animals; a sing along to Gilbert and Sullivan (even Jim gets in on the act),  and we explore how art and science can come together in some unexpected ways.  Plus, the legend of the giant sloth.

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