1C - (2 NT) - 3D - (Pass)
3S - (Pass) - 4D - (Pass)
4H - (DBL ) - ?
2NT = red two suiter
3D = Unusual versus unusual, showing club support
4D = slam try
4H = something forcing
Over the double, what does each of these bids show the way you play (ok I think we can all agree on redouble)?
Pass
RDL
4S
4NT
5C

in this situation i would just ignore the double and play as if we are cuebidding...
pass and redouble have options to show second round control or nothing
but i am going on the idea that the 3♦ bid implies spades
4s =sign off
4nt =key card
5c=cue bid

4D=slam try, yes RKC for clubs slam try. As usual if responder is not limited here I prefer they be captain on hand.
4H=0-3 now:
4s=Queen ask
4nt=sign off
5c=sign off
5D=Specific k ask and confirms possession of all Keycards.
pass=deny first round H control. Please rdbl partner with first round control
rdbl=confirm first round H control. Please continue to cuebid partner.

I post what I think is the most simple approach:
Pass: Interest in a first round heart control (Asking for a rdbl)
RDL: First round heart control, interest in the spade control
4S: Spade control a hand that can't bid 4NT probably with a void.
4NT: RKCB in clubs
5C: I had a minimum slam try so go to six only with extras
Pass: Interest in a first round heart control (Asking for a rdbl)
RDL: First round heart control, interest in the spade control
4S: Spade control a hand that can't bid 4NT probably with a void.
4NT: RKCB in clubs

This is the way I would play with my regular partner(s), not what I would assume with a pickup.
a) I play 3H as club support, but I pretend that 3D showed club support
3S natural
c) 4D cue bid for clubs
d) 4H cue bid for clubs
now bids are as they were without the double
pass = no heart control, unlikely to have a spade control as no cue, still interested
rdbl = second round heart control (in principle partner has shown first round control)
4S = cue bid (might be the King as partner's suit)
4NT = discouraging given the auction to date, not 100% forcing
5C = encouraging given the auction to date (in the context of not passing or bidding 4S this is effectively a trump cue bid, as what can you have other than good trumps to encourage?)
