Dr Phil Hammond is joined by David Morrissey, Vincent Duggleby and Suzanne Moore.

Dr Phil Hammond asks three guests to play tracks of their choice. He is joined by actor David Morrissey, The Mail on Sunday's Suzanne Moore and Radio 4 money man Vincent Duggleby.

Actor David Morrissey joins columnist Suzanne Moore and money man Vincent Duggleby - who they discover plays banjo, double bass and sousaphone - to explain why they've brought a misanthropic solo record, a risque Seventies pop song and a hitherto unheard BBC recording to this week's show. 

Whilst giving a trad jazz masterclass, Vincent explains what track he has in common with Robert Peston. Suzanne admits to being scared at a Beatles concert and David reveals that he once interviewed Kenny Ball. However, his musical knowledge and exquisite taste suggest he'd be just as at home as a DJ on the radio as he is acting and directing his own films. 

With Phil Hammond. 

The music choices are:
Street In the City by Pete Townshend
Froggie Moore Rag by Mike Daniels and his Delta Jazzmen 
Walk On The Wild Side by Lou Reed

Producer: Tamsin Hughes
A Testbed production for BBC Radio 4.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
