PETER HENNESSY begins a new, four-part series of REFLECTIONS (RADIO 4, 9AM, 9.30PM), in which he invites senior politicians to reflect on their life and times. His first guest is Tony Blair, who talks candidly about his upbringing, how his love of rock music kept him from his law studies at Oxford, his faith and his rise through the Labour ranks to become PM. The conversation also focuses on two of the most momentous challenges during his premiership: the Northern Ireland Peace Agreement and the controversial decision to invade Iraq.

HUGH COSTELLO writes bitingly good dramas. In his play REDACTED (RADIO 4, 2.15PM), starring Greta Scacchi and Nicholas Murchie, a civil servant finds himself knee-deep in a moral dilemma. He is a firm believer in open

government, but then, he finds his wife’s name on an incriminating document . . .

ANGALEENA PRESLEY (pictured) grew up in Beauty, Kentucky, once a thriving mining town full of Hungarian immigrants, but now a bit of a ghost town. She headed off to Nashville, where she hooked up with Ashley Monroe and Miranda Lambert to form the trio Pistol Annies. Angaleena also has a solo career, and she’s in the studio for tonight’s BOB HARRIS COUNTRY (RADIO 2, 7PM) to perform a session of tracks from her latest album, Wrangled.
