BBC Radio 4 - Saturday Live, Kirstie Allsopp

TV presenter Kirstie Allsopp joins Richard Coles and Aasmah Mir.

Kirstie Allsopp, TV presenter and property guru, joins Richard Coles and Aasmah Mir to talk about Comic Relief. With the Inheritance Tracks of comedian Stewart Lee.

With Red Nose day fast approaching Richard Coles and Aasmah Mir are joined by tv presenter and property expert Kirstie Allsopp to talk taking part in the Comic Relief Danceathon, our enduring affection for tv property programmes and her problem dog Dandy.

Just as well canine behaviourist Rob Alleyne is on hand. As well as being a dog trainer, Rob worked as an animal welfare officer for a local authority for 16 years and tried to start a fast snail breeding programme. He believes that there is no such thing as a problem dog, just problem owners.

Billy Gibbons got in touch with Saturday Live to tell us about his home where everything (including him) is from the 1950's - apart from a handful of essentials. Formerly an Elvis impersonator, he now works at a care home for people who have dementia and learning disabilities.

We have the Inheritance Tracks of comedian Stewart Lee and a group of friends from Manningtree High School in Essex report on the growing trend for cross bred dogs for BBC News School Report.

And we hear how Denise Bentley, a former City Foreign Exchange Trader, ended up running the Tower Hamlets Foodbank on behalf of the Trussell Trust. With the help of Comic Relief funding its unique hub model means it can offer more than just food, including benefits and housing advice.

**Stewart's tracks are : 'Solitary Man' by Neil Diamond recorded live at The Greek Theatre, Los Angeles for his album Hot August Night and 'Chicken Nuggets for me' by The Fish Police.**

Producer: Alex Lewis
Editor: Karen Dalziel.

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