In Pakistan's elections, former leader Nawaz Sharif looked like he was headed back for power. Owen Bennett-Jones told us all you needed to know about the man, included the size of his personal fortune. Birdsong punctuated his report - and indeed all reports from that corner of Asia. A bird expert used only his ears to identify the avian additions to our coverage. Is the immigration debate apt to stray into racism? Tory MP Priti Patel and former race commissioner Simon Woolley discussed it, and disagreed. A former Bank of England governor spoke about growing up in Govan alongside Sir Alex Ferguson. And we conducted an experiment combining Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion technique with Radio 4 stars. On the papers: actor Amanda Burton, author John Boyne and business Lord Digby Jones.
