Suzy Klein and Kate Silverton present this week's Saturday Live.

He's a stand up comedian who has done musicals, panto, hosted game shows, is a panelist on Just a minute, who won Celebrity big brother, came third on Strictly and has written 3 adult novels. Now Julian Clary has turned his hand to children's fiction. He joins us to talk about his varied career.

Listener Jackie Winter got in touch with us about her experience clocking up more than 100,000 miles over her 40 years as a tandem rider. And all that despite not being able to ride a pedal cycle! She joins us to tell us about her life as a 'stoker'.

Sean Myatt is a puppeteer and academic who teaches puppetry at Nottingham Trent University. He will join us to talk about object theatre, scenography, being a puppet captain at the Olympics opening ceremony and working with Kate Bush.

Peter Marren is a butterfly obsessive. A repentant child collector and lifelong fan, he muses on our relationship with this most beautiful of insects. How have they been regarded over the years? And why are they so important to us?

Fresh from her win on Celebrity Masterchef, ex Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt talks about another passion in her life - her dogs. Having a rescue dog herself, she visits Battersea Dogs and Cats Home to see what life is like for rescued animals.

We hear the inheritance tracks of interior designer Kelly Hoppen who chooses Aretha Franklin's Say a Little Prayer and I feel Good by James Brown.
