Simon Parkes

Simon Parkes chooses his BBC Radio highlights from the past week.

According to the Collins English Dictionary, the word of the year for 2015 is... 'Binge-watch' - the definition being 'to watch a large number of television programmes in succession' and this week Simon has emerged from a Binge-Listen session to proudly announce that in Pick of the Week, he'll be exploring the on-going power of being a Dame - especially in Australia - how to inflate a flamingo-shaped lilo and the best possible pronunciation of 'gobble-de-gook' he's ever heard.

The Pick of the BBC Radio iPlayer this week is Tim Key and Gogol's Overcoat.

Produced by Stephen Garner.
