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

Clive Anderson is joined by Kathy Burke, Robert Webb, Sara Cox and Kim Wilde for an eclectic mix of conversation, music and comedy. With music from Kim Wilde and Tindersticks.

It's Nil by Mouth for Clive, who talks to award-winning actress, comedian and director Kathy Burke, who's directing riotous comedy 'Once a Catholic'. Set in a convent girls' school in 1957, where the nuns at Our Lady of Fatima preach chastity and diligence as the swinging sixties approach. Final exams loom. The day of reckoning is nigh. But for the girls in class 5A, their last year in uniform is set to be one of discovery of the less holy kind. 'Once a Catholic' is at London's Tricycle Theatre until 18th January 2014.

Clive's Kept Hangin' On by singer and presenter Kim Wilde, who shot to fame in 1981 with her smash hit 'Kids In America' and is the most-charted British solo female act of the 1980s. Kim's in a festive mood with a new album of part original songs / part classic Yuletide tunes. She sings 'Hey Mr Snowman' from 'Wilde Winter Songbook'.

Arthur Smith's Born Sloppy with DJ Sara Cox, whose new Radio 2 show 'Sounds of the '80s' looks at a decade that saw synthesizers, ghetto blasters and the moonwalk explode on to the music scene. It was the age of New wave and synth pop, hip-hop, hard rock and glam metal, leaving a legacy of shellsuits, mobile phones, the CD, the Yuppie and even ET. 'Sounds of the '80s' is on 30th November at 22.00.

Clive's tuned in to comedian and actor Robert Webb, who returns to the Radio 4 airwaves alongside David Mitchell with their distinctive and lopsided views on the world through satirical sketches and surreal characters. The second episode of 'That Mitchell and Webb Sound' is on 3rd December at 18.30.

With more music from Nottingham's gloriously lugubrious pop-noir balladeers Tindersticks, who perform 'This Fire Of Autumn' from their album 'The Something Rain'.

Producer: Sukey Firth.

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