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

Clive Anderson is joined by Kathy Lette, Jacqui Dankworth, Andreas Campomar and Errol Francis for conversation, music and comedy. With music from Jacqui Dankworth and Çigdem Aslan.

Clive talks to author Kathy Lette, sometimes known as 'Ms Quiplash' for her razor-sharp wit. Her bestselling pun-filled chick-lit has many fans and her writing spans topics from the sublime to the ridiculous. An Australian living in London where, as her grandmother once said, "all those terrible convicts come from" Lette will be speaking to Clive about the Australian & New Zealand Festival of Literature & Arts.

Clive explores pride, politics and punch-ups in Latin American football with author Andreas Campomar. His latest book 'Golazo!: A History of Latin American Football' recounts the pistol-toting referees; bloody coups d'etat; breath-taking goals; invidious conspiracies; strikers with matinee idol looks and a taste for tango dancers.

Nikki Bedi delves into the world of art and angst with Errol Francis. Errol is Festival Director for Anxiety Arts 2014, which explores the close relationship between mental disturbance, anxiety and modernism in the arts.

Clive's Smooth Sailing with jazz musician and actress Jacqui Dankworth. The daughter of two jazz music greats - the late Sir John Dankworth and Dame Cleo Laine, Jacqui first went into show business as an actress. Her musical heritage has asserted itself, and she's about to star in 'The Frank and Ella Show' at Glasgow International Jazz Festival.

With music from Çigdem Aslan performing 'Vale Me' from her album 'Mortissa'. With more music from Jacqui Dankworth and Charlie Wood, who perform 'Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me.'

Producer: Debbie Kilbride.

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