Writer and comedian Helen Lederer makes her pick of the best of BBC Radio this week.

This week there's a few surprises in store on Pick of the Week: Margaret Thatcher is revealed as a champion of climate change, Kurt Vonnegut comes back from the dead, and we bump into Tom Petty while driving in LA. 
We get a lesson in reading, and one of Charles Dickens best known stories takes us from London to Lagos - and back again.  
We discover an unusual way to count sheep, and there's music to bring joy, longing and solace.
