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

Clive Anderson is joined by Tim Pigott-Smith, Mark Heap, Shirley Henderson, Arthur Smith and Chris Addison for conversation, music and comedy. With music from Neil Finn and Sohn.

Clive talks to one of our best loved film and television actors, Tim Pigott-Smith about his latest role. The Queen is dead: after a lifetime of waiting, the prince ascends the throne...Tim is King Charles III. But how to rule? Mike Bartlett's controversial piece explores the unwritten rules of our democracy, and the conscience of Britain's most famous family. 

One of the stars of a classy new adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's gothic classic 'Jamaica Inn', Shirley Henderson is perhaps best known for her roles as Gail in Trainspotting, Jude in Bridget Jones's Diary and Moaning Myrtle in the Harry Potter films. 

Arthur Smith chats with comedian and star of 'The Thick of It' Chris Addison who's just made a rom-com series 'Trying Again'. Chris plays Matt; half of a just-about-functioning couple giving love a second chance. Following an 'indiscretion' with her boss Iain, Matt and Meg are trying to make up and move on, but it's not easy in a small Lake District town where there are no such thing as secrets and your friends share a knack for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.

A favourite with both cult and mainstream tv audiences, Mark Heap has created some brilliant comedy roles: Brian Topp in 'Spaced', Dr Alan Statham in 'Green Wing' and Jim in 'Friday Night Dinner'. He has worked with Chris Morris appearing in 'Jam' and 'Brass Eye' and had a long-running role as head postman Thomas Brown on ' Lark Rise to Candleford'. Who better to take on the role of Jeeves opposite Robert Webb's Bertie Wooster, in the five-star hit 'Perfect Nonsense'.

With Music from Neil Finn, who performs new single' Dizzy Heights' from his album of the same name, available now on Lester Records. And more music from Sohn, who performs 'Tempest' from his debut album 'Tremors' out now on 4AD.
