Loose Ends - 13/11/2010

Clive Anderson and guests with an eclectic mix of conversation, music and comedy. What with strikes, protests and militancy this week, it's apt that Clive is joined by the outspoken political firebrand and singer-songwriter Billy Bragg. His six track CD Pressure Drop is out now and he's about to embark on a UK tour in December. The First Lady of Musical Theatre, Elaine Paige talks about her career and her latest album 'Elaine Page and Friends' an album of duets with the likes of Barry Manilow, Olivia Newton-John, Dionne Warwick and John Barrowman. And Martin Scorsese's Oscar winning film editor of thirty years, Thelma Schoonmaker talks about her involvement in her late husband Michael Powell's controversial film Peeping Tom as it hits its fiftieth anniversary and returns to the big screen. The Now Show's Jon Holmes meets one of the funniest men in Hollywood, the actor and Will and Grace star Leslie Jordan. He'll be bringing his one man show 'My Trip Down the Pink Carpet' to London next year. There's music from Billy Bragg of course and from Iceland's experimental pop pioneers, Hjaltalin. Producer: Cathie Mahoney Addition(s):.
