Clive Anderson is joined by Simon Russell Beale, Chris Evans and Howard Jacobson.

Clive Anderson is joined by Simon Russell Beale, Chris Evans, Howard Jacobson, Jo Bunting, Tim Willis and Adam Hills. With music from Amit Chaudhuri and Duke & The King.

Clive Anderson and guests with an eclectic mix of conversation, music and comedy.

Clive is joined by the Man Booker Winner Howard Jacobson, who fresh from winning the prize with his novel The Finkler Question, delves into our own prudery in art for Channel 4's Genius of Art series on Sunday night. 

BBC Radio 2 Breakfast and One Show host Chris Evans talks about being a 'Fruitcake' in the second part of his memoirs. 

The man who has been described as the greatest stage actor of his generation, Simon Russell Beale, talks to Clive about the death trap he's in at the moment.

Tim Willis gossips to Jo Bunting about Fleet Street's legendary diarist, Nigel Dempster and the comedian Adam Hills Messes Around in the studio. 

Amit Chaudhuri is another award winning novelist but has a parallel career as a classical singer of traditional Hindustani music blending raga, jazz, rock and blues. He performs with his band from his new album. 

And New Yorker's The Duke & The King bring some rock, folk and vintage soul to the Loose Ends studio.

Producer: Cathie Mahoney.

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