KEN BRUCE
9.30AM, RADIO 2 HHHH
Ken finally breaks free of serving up archive recordings of his Tracks Of My Years to deliver a new series. This week, he’s joined by Celeste, a Brit Awards Rising Star and BBC Sound Of 2020 winner. The talented singer-songwriter tells Ken about being born in America and growing up in Britain, and shares some of the songs that have had a big influence on her life.
AN INVITATION TO INDIAN COOKING
10.45AM, 7.45PM, RADIO 4 HHH
Indian cuisine is thousands of years old, with recipes handed down through the generations. When the actress Madhur Jaffrey came to London in the 1950s to go to drama school, her mother sent her letters full of family recipes – and these recipes became the foundation of Madhur’s successful cookery books. Archie Panjabi plays the lead in this dramatised account of Madhur’s life.
THE RIVER
1.45PM, RADIO 4 HHHH Escape your confined world for a trip to the lovely river that the Romans called Sabrina and we call the Severn. Paul Evans watches as salmon fight against the rushing waters of a weir to return to the pools where they were spawned in a programme that’s like a breath of fresh air.
STONE
2.15PM, RADIO 4 HHHH
Every so often, Radio 4 allows us a new series of this seriously good crime drama following the cases of DCI John Stone (Hugo Speer). Firmly rooted in reality and full of psychological insights, each series takes us deep into a case, looking at the perpetrators, victims and investigators. This week, we follow the consequences of a stabbing, and an investigation that comes dangerously close – for some – to home. SJ
