Author David Mitchell returns to the Book Club to discuss his new novel Slade House. Plus a brand new confession and listeners' oldies.

Bestselling author David Mitchell returns to the Radio 2 Book Club to discuss his new novel, Slade House. 

Simon discussed David's last book, The Bone Clocks, back in September 2014 - and welcomes him back to find out more a book which developed out of writing a story on Twitter. 

Turn down Slade Alley - narrow, dank and easy to miss, even when you're looking for it. Find the small black iron door set into the right-hand wall. No handle, no keyhole, but at your touch it swings open. Enter the sunlit garden of an old house that doesn't quite make sense; too grand for the shabby neighborhood, too large for the space it occupies. A stranger greets you by name and invites you inside. At first, you won't want to leave. Later, you'll find that you can't.

We'll also unleash a brand new Confession and play some of your oldies, plus Matt Williams has the latest sport and Rebecca Pike brings us the money news.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
