Phil Williams sits in for Richard Bacon.

Comedian and author Mark Watson talks about the inspiration for his novel, Eleven, in which a late night DJ teams up with a cleaning lady to confront his biggest regret. He also explains why his Request Stop tour gets to parts of the UK other stand-up tours can't reach.

US actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson drops in to discuss his role as gay dad Mitchell Pritchett in Sky 1 sitcom Modern Family.

Tom Rosenthal, star of Channel 4's Friday Night Dinner tells how he's taking to the stage at the Royal Court in London. He's starring in Chicken Soup With Barley, which traces the lives of Jews living in London in the 1940s and 1950s. A surprise guest - his dad, Jim Rosenthal, gives us a theatre review. 

Plus we keep up to date with the horse racing action at Royal Ascot.
