Gerry Northam
Gerry Northam chooses his BBC Radio highlights.
On Pick of the week this week Gerry Northam is examining the art of illusion. We discover that Scotland had its own Lord Haw Haw, another master of black propaganda; and that British agents used similar trickery to coax America into the Second World War.
We also explored: deception by metaphor; a photograph that's about somebody who isn't in it; and how a star of comedy brought few laughs to his own family. We also hear how Tony Hawks took on Leonard Cohen, and won.
Produced by Cecile Wright in Salford.
