BBC Radio 4 - Saturday Live, Aled Jones

Aled Jones and the inheritance tracks of Alan Davies.

Extraordinary stories, unusual people and a sideways look at the world. Aled Jones, Tez Ilyas, Fred Sirieix and the inheritance tracks of Alan Davies.

Aled Jones will forever be associated with the song he made a hit - Walking in the Air. Now he's released a seasonal CD where he sings in harmony with his 14 year old self. He'll join Richard and Aasmah in the studio.

Tez Ilyas left the civil service for comedy after doing a Saturday course in stand up. He's since appeared in eight competition finals, had a show in Edinburgh and wrote and performed the Tez Talks series about how to be a Muslim on BBC Radio 4. 

A chance conversation with a friend at university has taken Kate Munro all around the world making snow sculptures. Every year, Kate spends 3 days and 3 nights in sub-zero temperatures, carving a 3 metre block of snow into a beautiful sculpture.

Fred Sirieix is Maître d' on First Dates, the Bafta award winning hit Channel 4 dating show, but he's also general manager of a top Michelin starred restaurant, and runs a service training company which helps prisoners train to work in restaurants. 

JP meets John Richards who went on a mission to play every Cathedral organ in Britain.

Alan Davies gives us his Inheritance Tracks, he chooses Topol singing If I were a rich man, and Billy Bragg's St. Swithin's Day and we have your Thank yous.

Aled's new album is called One Voice at Christmas
Tez Ilyas will be touring in the New Year
First Dates, the art of love by Fred Sirieix is out now
Alan Davies' DVD Little Victories is released on 28th November

Producer: Corinna Jones
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.
