The best of the previous seven days of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio, chosen by Gerry Northam.

In Pick Of The week, Gerry Northam hears the emotional final thoughts of a woman dying of bone cancer at the age of 42.
There's detailed analysis of the current political turmoil in Turkey and its historical roots in the Ottoman Empire; and the latest archaeological evidence pointing to the origins of Stonehenge as a site of ritual cremations.
We also discover TS Eliot's fascination with Eastern mysticism and the role it played in some of his best-loved works, and hear some snappy 21st century endings to other famous lines of poetry.
Laughter and tears in Pick Of The Week ...
