"Sunday Best"
 

"Sunday Best" is Radio 4's primetime slot on Sunday lunchtime for its "most acclaimed features and documentaries".

Clare Jenkins' programme "The Shearing Shore"

was selected for the "Sunday Best" slot on 25th May 2003 at 1:30pm

 
"Feedback"
 

An appearance on the Feedback programme is usually bad news for a producer, but occasionally there are bouquets as well

Voicing the Piano got just such an endorsement from a listener on the 3rd October edition of Feedback: "Sometimes on Radio 4 there is something perfect, like a swan gliding on a stream. You couldn't change anything to make it better. Such was Voicing the Piano"
