Sheila McClennon makes her selection from the past seven days of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio.

This week, why Winston Churchill never gave up his childhood toys and the Rise and Rise of the Third Reich - why it's the publishing world's surprise success story. Gary Bellamy almost gets a Royal exclusive on Down the Line whilst Matt Everitt does get Queen. There's also Gershwin, a tipsy Sinatra and the story behind one of the most successful records ever - Bob Newhart's Button Down Mind and how it very nearly didn't get made at all.
