Emma Freud and guests with an eclectic mix of conversation, music and comedy.

Emma Freud is joined by Tamsin Greig and Nina Wadia for an eclectic mix of conversation, music and comedy. With music from Real Estate and Rae Morris.

Emma's fresh from a Friday Night Dinner with actress Tamsin Greig, who is reunited with her 'Green Wing' co-star, Stephen Mangan, for the third series of 'Episodes'. Sean and Beverly Lincoln are an English couple whose hit UK sitcom is remade for US audiences and corrupted beyond recognition, and in which Matt LeBlanc plays an outrageous version of himself.

Emma examines the mind of clinical psychologist Professor Tanya Byron, whose new book is about the years she spent training as a clinical psychologist. In 'The Skeleton Cupboard', Tanya experiences some of the toughest placements of her career and she shares the fascinating stories of some of the people she treated.

Scottee fantasises with writer and performer Nathan Penlington, whose book 'The Boy in the Book' materialised from his obsession with 'Choose Your Own Adventure' novels. When he came across the very first in the series, he anticipated a nostalgia trip. But what he discovered sent him off on an adventure all of his own.

Emma's going out for an English with actress Nina Wadia, who's starring in a one off special of the ground-breaking British Asian sketch show 'Goodness Gracious Me', as part of BBC 2's 50th Anniversary Celebrations. It features all the favourite characters from the original series and includes some very competitive Grandmothers, a bit of politics with the Kapoors and a high-tech use for an aubergine.

With music from Real Estate, who perform 'Crime' from their album 'Atlas'. And from Rae Morris, who performs new single 'Cold' from her forthcoming album


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.
