Clive Anderson and guests with an eclectic mix of conversation, music and comedy. He's toured with Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochrane, Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis.

Creator of Reginald Perrin, comic writer David Nobbs talks about his new novel 'Obstacles to Young Love'; a story of love, faith and taxidermy. Surf's up! Jon Holmes wave watches with Gavin Pretor-Pinney author of 'The Wavewatcher's Companion' which explores the undulations that surround us, from the rippling beats of our hearts to Mexican waves in stadiums. And there's retro comedy from The Fitzrovia Radio Hour who create their own live sound effects in the studio. With music from folk singer songwriter Seth Lakeman who performs his single 'Tiny World' from his album 'Hearts & Minds'. And from Manchester's 'I am Kloot' who celebrate their 10th Anniversary with the launch of their Guy Garvey produced album 'Sky At Night'. Notes:- Producer: Cathie Mahoney.
