Gerry Northam chooses his Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio highlights.
In part of Shakespeare week, we hear about troupes of travelling actors that used to perform in saloons for gunslingers in the Wild West - and that Hollywood put a production of Hamlet into a film of the shootout at the OK Corral, with Victor Mature tackling the famous soliloquy... rather well. We also heard:two momentous encounters on the London tube;four people who survived being held captive by Islamic terrorists;two groundbreaking comedians, Lenny Bruce and Spike Milligan;
and the man who beat David Mitchell in a trial by pedantry.
Production team Kevin Mousley, Kay Bishton & Elodie Chatelain.
