This week, needles are being pricked, as we reimagine the first few stitches of the Bayeux Tapestry via radio drama - and take a closer look at the fragments of food that can be found in the folds of the famous embroidery. Radio 4 Extra takes us back to school - way back, in fact, to 1947- and Ruby Tandoh serves up a feast for our inner child with Brian Jacques’s Redwall series. Plus, if you’re still craving another nostalgia hit, there’s a double-bill of Star Wars to look forward to from Witness History.
