Writer and comedian Rob Newman joins Richard Coles and Suzy Klein to talk about his return to comedy. His latest show - Rob Newman's New Theory of Evolution - looks at the controversies surrounding evolutionary biology and is his first complete show in 7 years.

Also on the programme, forget the 7.39am, we meet two commuters who met and fell in love on the 5.35am from Gillingham, Dorset to London Waterloo. As a memento of the moment when lightning struck they have the train seats they were sitting on ensconced in their front room.

We also speak to a couple of recently arrived economic migrants - one from Bulgaria and one from Romania - about why they decided to move to the UK, the twins who were big in post war entertainment and the teenager trying to singlehandedly revive punk rock. Author Horatio Clare tells us about his year spent as the writer in residence on a cargo ship, with the Inheritance Tracks of journalist Kate Adie.
