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

Award-winning actor and author Terence Stamp will be talking to Clive about his extraordinary acting career, which has spanned over fifty years and has seen him appear in over sixty films. From Superman villain to transgender showgirl, Terence has played a variety of roles. His memoir 'Rare Stamps, Reflections on Living, Breathing and Acting' takes an introspective journey into the life of a British icon.

Author and historian Simon Sebag Montefiore will be making a pilgrimage to the Loose Ends studio to tell us about his new BBC Four series 'Jerusalem - The Making of A Holy City'. Simon explores how this unique city came into being and illuminates its sacred history.

Rachael Stirling will be getting her skates on and talking to ice legends Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean about their dazzling Olympic gold win dancing to 'Bolero' at the 1984 games. This year, Jane and Chris joined a host of celebrities for 'Torvill & Dean's Dancing on Ice - The Live Tour 2011', which is now available on DVD.

Clive will be posing for the UK's leading fashion photographer, Rankin, whose snap-happy career has seen him photograph countless celebrities. In BBC Four's 'America in Pictures', Rankin examines the work of the iconic 'LIFE' magazine's legendary photographers and how they pioneered new forms of photojournalism. Say 'cheese' Clive!

8 piece Mariachi El Bronx will have their trumpets at the ready to perform '48 Roses' and 'Revolution Girls' from their album 'Mariachi El Bronx (II)'. Olé!

Producer: Cathie Mahoney.
