Ernie Rea makes his selection from the past seven days of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio
There's lot of sixties nostalgia on Ernie Rea's Pick of the Week. The Beatles, Roger Daltrey of The Who, Little Richard, Joan Bakewell and the late Mary Whitehouse all give their take on what made the sixties so special. But its not all sex and rock n roll. There's the shocking tale of The Travelling Electric Chair and the radio reporter who went to extraordinary lengths to capture live on mic the surge of power that signalled the end for a condemned man. And the uplifting tale of the soldier left stranded when the flotilla of little boats left Dunkirk and who was finally reunited with his family five years later.
