Presented by Jane Garvey. Choirmaster Gareth Malone on his 'Extraordinary School for Boys'; Klezmer music; Teen fiction; and the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority.

Choirmaster Gareth Malone talks about his new TV series "Extraordinary School for Boys" set at a primary school in Essex where he discovers that many of the boys would do anything rather than sit through a literacy lesson.His solution to this problem is to start them on a programme of physical exercise, outdoor lessons and healthy competition. We hear about the history of Klezmer music and there'll be live music from Hilda Bronstein. What's hot and what's not in teen fiction at the moment and we discuss the future of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority. Presented by Jane Garvey.
