Synopsis

This week on BH, we look into a report which suggests a dozen NHS hospital trusts in England are "significantly under-performing", despite nine recently having been rated as good or excellent.

Also, as John Demjanjuk stands trial in Munich, accused of atrocities at the Sobibor camp during World War Two, we have contrasting tales of hope and despair from Holocaust survivors. We wonder where BH's extra minute is coming from and, as Julie Andrews announces her return to the stage, we have a listen to the marvel that is the human voice.

Reviewing the newspapers this week were star of stage and screen Dame Diana Rigg, chairman of the Environment Agency Lord Smith and film maker and art critic Ben Lewis.
