This week's Pick of the Week has a little something for everyone. There's plenty of romance, some in the form of drama with the inimitable Tom Courtenay reflecting on his life and his loves; there's something about the art of running, poetic and reflective; we explore the iconic status of dragons and there is the lighter side of the election. The usual speech-based cornucopia of aural delights. And Bucks Fizz.
