Clive Anderson with Harry Connick Jr, Rolf Harris and Philip Glenister. Jon Holmes discusses art and mining with playwright Lee Hall. With music from Jodie Marie and Drugstore.

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

Harry Connick Jr. is a man of many talents having sold over 25 million albums worldwide as a singer, composer, conductor and piano player. Harry talks to Clive about his latest acting role in the film 'Dolphin Tale' inspired by the true story of a group of impassioned strangers who join together to save the life of Winter, the dolphin.

The rolfaroo himself, Rolf Harris tells Clive about his latest single 'Do You Still Remember which he's recorded with Australia's Got Talent winner Cam Henderson. Not only has Rolf had a long and successful career in music, he's also earned a special place in Britain's cultural heritage with his multifaceted art work and has an upcoming exhibition of paintings in London.

Best known as DCI Gene Hunt in 'Life On Mars' and 'Ashes to Ashes', Philip Glenister is now swapping roles to be a small-time solicitor in BBC One's latest drama serial 'Hidden'. Philip has been a star of the small screen for many years appearing in Mad Dogs and Hornblower to name just two, but has his work cut out now as 'Harry Venn' in this latest taut conspiracy thriller.

Jon Holmes talks to Lee Hall, playwright and screenwriter who penned the hugely successful 2000 film, 'Billy Elliot' and adapted the musical version with Elton John which won an Olivier Award for Best Musical. Another one of his award-winning productions 'The Pitmen Painters' returns to the London stage at the Duchess Theatre.

Freshly stocked Drugstore perform 'Aquamarine' from their latest album 'Anatomy'. And new girl on the block, Jodie Marie brings her soulful sound to the studio with a sneak rendition of her upcoming single 'On The Road'.

Producer: Cathie Mahoney.
