John Waite

John Waite chooses his BBC Radio highlights from the past week.

The nation's favourite tree, the world's most famous extinct animal - and the detailed biography of a man who doesn't exist - they're all featured in this week's Pick of the Week. Plus there's "Just a minute" of humour from that long running radio staple; a bracing challenge to the brainbox from Round Britain quiz - and some lovely floaty music from BBC Radio 2's new "choristers of the year".

The Pick of the iPlayer is Kenneth Williams as Rambling Syd Rumpo from Round the Horne.

Producer: Stephen Garner.
