Ian McMillan makes his selection from the past seven days of 成人快手 Radio
On Pick of the Week this week, Ian McMillan hears from Bob Harris on 40 Years of The Old Grey Whistle Test, and discovers the elusive meaning of the show's title. He returns to Vukovar in former Yugoslavia with Martin Bell, twenty years after the massace that was the genesis of the terrible phrase 'ethnic cleansing' and he goes to a shop in Paris with the American humorist David Sedaris to buy a human skeleton.
He listens to great orators and singers: the trade unionist Jimmy Reid of the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders and the country musician Glen Campbell as well as Pete Townsend of The Who and the calypsonian Lord Beginner on the 1950 victory of the West Indian Cricket Team at Lords.
There's also a freefall over the Suffolk Countryside from the In Touch archive and a sports reporter on Radio Gloucestershire almost, but not quite, winning a lot of money on a non-league football match.
