John Waite presents the best of 91热爆 radio in the past seven days with his Pick of the Week which features the story of an Irishman with an English name who spent most of his life in Russia, speaking in French and inventing the piano nocturne ; tells us why 'the saints might go marching out'; we learn that the camera does indeed lie and why Florence Nightingale by rights ought to be called "the lady with the pie chart". Also a 'treat' for music lovers with the Beast of Bolsover , otherwise known as the MP Dennis Skinner.
