BBC Radio 4 - Saturday Live, Les Dennis

Martyn Bradley on his adoption journey, comedian Zoe Lyons and Donna Leon's tracks.

Les Dennis, listener Martyn Bradley on his family secret, Kat Farmer on style, Zoe Lyons on comedy and alopecia and the inheritance tracks of Donna Leon.

Suzy Klein and Huw Stephens are joined by actor, comedian and entertainer Les Dennis as he hosts a tribute to his friend Barry Cryer.
Kat Farmer left a lucrative city job after she had kids and was unsure what to do next.  She rediscovered a love of fashion and it’s ability to reinvent, and embraced the digital age, starting a blog, "Does my bum look 40 in this?" and becoming an online influencer.  She now works as a stylist, for personal clients and on TV.  She joins us.
Saturday Live listener Martyn Bradley was aged 12 when, at a family party, his great grandfather gave all his great grandchildren a pocket watch, except him, on the grounds that he was adopted.  It was the first he had heard about it.  He tells us what happened next.   
We have Comedian Zoe Lyons on going from Survivor into stand up, and alopecia, and the inheritance tracks of Donna Leon, she chooses Carolyn Watkinson singing “Oh thou that telleth good tidings to Zionz' from Handel’s Messiah and Joyce DiDonato singing “As with Rosy steps the morn” from Handel’s Theodora.
Plus, your thank you!
