Pick of the World

 
 
 
Updated weekly at 04:06 GMT on Saturday


There are highlights from the past week and from memorable broadcasts from previous years in this week's Pick of the World, the final edition of the programme.

Scientists explain how birds and members of the animal kingdom, red deer for example, are providing clues about why powerful families produce more boy children than girls.

We go down under to meet the Aboriginal rappers who have created their own version of hip hop to express their feelings and make their voices heard.

We hear from musician Angelique Kidjo, the composer of the Everywoman signature tune which has become one of the most poular signature tunes ever here on the World Service.

And there are two requests for favourite programmes from the past: Just A Minute tackles the theme of the doppelganger without deviation, hesitation or repetition.

And Alistair Cooke pays tribute to Charles Schultz, the man who created the Peanuts comic strip.

Dan Damon presents Pick of the World.
