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

Clive Anderson is joined by Neil Morrissey, one of television's most recognised faces - starring in Men Behaving Badly, Waterloo Road and, of course, the voice of Bob the Builder. The actor and real ale enthusiast spills the beans on his life for audiences around the UK with his new show 'Neil Morrissey: Celebrities Stripped Bare'.

Presenter and comedian Griff Rhys Jones is an avid art collector and enthusiast. Griff ventures to remote corners of the globe in search of ancient cultural art, the impulses that underpin it and how it has been affected over time. The first trip for his new BBC Two series looks at the sacred and tribal art of Australia, with the splendour, magical and religious energy behind African and Indian art following on subsequent Friday evenings.

Edward Fox is a stalwart of the acting profession having appeared in Day of the Jackal, A Bridge Too Far and Edward and Mrs. Simpson. He returns to the stage to celebrate the life and work of the Victorian novelist Anthony Trollope in his new one-man show 'Edward Fox: Trollope in Barsetshire'.

Robin Ince talks to writer and producer Robert Popper whose new Channel 4 comedy series Friday Night Dinner is inspired by his own family life and background. The show stars Black Books Tamsin Greig and Inbetweeners Simon Bird. 

With their blissful blend of panoramic, alternative pop, music comes from Newcastle collective Sharks Took The Rest. 

And folk bluesman Charlie Parr hot foots it back from Brussels to perform 1922 Blues on his twelve string guitar, live in the Loose Ends studio.

Producer: Cathie Mahoney.
