Gerry Northam chooses his ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio highlights.
In part of Shakespeare week, we hear about troupes of travelling actors that used to perform in saloons for gunslingers in the Wild West - and that Hollywood put a production of Hamlet into a film of the shootout at the OK Corral, with Victor Mature tackling the famous soliloquy... rather well. We also heard:two momentous encounters on the London tube;four people who survived being held captive by Islamic terrorists;two groundbreaking comedians, Lenny Bruce and Spike Milligan;
and the man who beat David Mitchell in a trial by pedantry.
Production team Kevin Mousley, Kay Bishton & Elodie Chatelain.
