The best of BBC Radio this week with Simon Parkes

We go from the frontline  of a Covid-19 Hospital wedding and the bespoke tailor in Hull now turning out PPE – to the contemplative. The 95-year old mountain guide imagining Lakeland Fells and the Poet Laureate hunkering down in his garden shed. Oh, and along the way, there’s a powerful baritone singing Bizet along to a karaoke machine. 

Presenter: Simon Parkes
Producer: Stephen Garner
Production support: Kay Whyld
