Stephen Mangan is LIVE in the studio to talk about his new ITV series Houdini & Doyle. He plays Sir Arthur Conan Doyle alongside Michael Weston (Six Feet Under, House) as Harry Houdini, two of the most fascinating and iconic characters of the early 20th century: real-life friends, real-life adversaries, real-life crime solvers.

You may know Mangan from his numerous and varied roles on stage, film and TV including 'Episodes', Green Wing and of course I'm Alan Partridge, playing the role of Dan Moody, or "DAN!", as he is now widely known...Simon promises to not shout it.

Plus there's the usual Travel, Business and Sports updates from the team.
