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

Clive Anderson is joined by Julie Felix, Ben Fogle, Hari Dhillon, Ned Boulting, Robin Ince and Sarah Gillespie for an eclectic mix of conversation, music and comedy.

Heaven is Here, in the form of 'Britain's First Lady of Folk', singer- songwriter and peace protester Julie Felix, who was resident singer on 'The Frost Report', hosted her own show 'Once More With Felix' and has toured worldwide for over fifty years. Julie talks to Clive about her 75th birthday. 'Life is the Song' is at Leicester Square Theatre, London on Saturday 15th June. Julie also performs 'Tiger Eyes'.

Clive drops the anchor with intrepid adventurer and original 'Castaway' Ben Fogle, whose new ITV series focuses on Dorset. Home to one of Britain's most dramatic coastlines with its craggy cliffs and miles of stunning sandy beaches, Ben explores the millionaires' playground of Sandbanks and the trawlers in the harbour, to find out what makes it unique. The second episode of 'Harbour Lives' is on Friday 21st June at 20.00.

Robin Ince saddles up with sports journalist and cycling nut Ned Boulting, whose new book 'On the Road Bike: The Search For a Nation's Cycling Soul' asks how Britain became so obsessed with cycling. His search puts him in contact with some of the wonderful and wonderfully idiosyncratic people who have contributed to this nation's two-wheeled history.

Clive talks to actor Hari Dhillon. Well known for playing Michael Spence in Holby City, Hari's currently starring as corporate lawyer Amir Kapoor, who is happy, in love and about to land a promotion.. Amir and his wife host a dinner party and what starts out as a friendly conversation soon escalates into something far more damaging. 'Disgraced' is at London's Bush Theatre until Saturday 22nd June.

And a second serving of folk from the glorious Sarah Gillespie, who performs 'Signal Failure' from her album 'Glory Days'.

Producer: Jane Thurlow.

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