Selection from the past seven days of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio, presented by Gerry Northam.
Gerry Northam learns which singer Elton John regards as the greatest ever recorded. There's also the melody which inmates sang to keep sane in Japanese prisoner of war camps. And the life of one of Mississippi's original bluesmen.
We hear how the satire of two thousand years ago finds echoes in current stand-up comedy.
Maxine Peake returns to Radio 4.
And the bleak pen of Cormac McCarthy portrays the despair of a 1950s British holiday camp.
