■ RAFFLES (Jeremy Clyde), the cricket-playing gentleman thief, is dead. His sidekick, Bunny (Michael Cochrane), is devastated. Raffles saved Bunny’s bacon on many an occasion, but now, Bunny must face the world alone. Then, in the opening episode of the vintage radio detective drama RAFFLES (RADIO 4 EXTRA, 6.30AM, 1.30PM, 8.30PM), Bunny’s attention is drawn to a newspaper advertisement. Could it be that his old chum is alive, well and up to his old tricks?
■ ANNE-MARIE (pictured) appeared on the West End stage when she was just six; she has a black belt in karate and a string of hits to her name.

BRUCE (RADIO 2, 9.30AM) all this week to talk about her latest album, Therapy, and her self-help book, You Deserve Better, and to choose her Tracks Of My Years. ■ PLANS are afoot to build a ‘park in the sky’ in Camden in north London.
