Icons seem to be the theme in this week's Pick of the Week. Lord Haw-Haw was a hate figure during the second world war - but the man brought in to challenge his propaganda, JB Priestley, became a radio icon in the process. Then there's the little girl filmed fleeing a napalm attack in the Vietnam war, that photo won a Pulitzer prize and she became an iconic image. William D. Zantzinger became an icon of racial prejudice when he killed a black waitress for taking too much time to serve him his drink, and was sentenced to a mere six months for the crime. And the whole programme's presented by a man who over the years has truly become a household word .. even if it's only in his own household. ( And we certainly couldn't mention the word) John Waite.
