BBC Radio 4 - Saturday Live, Miles Jupp and Cariad Lloyd

Anstey Harris on adoption and Blake Harrington chooses his Inheritance Tracks.

Miles Jupp, Anstey Harris on being adopted, Cariad Lloyd on death and comedy and actor Blake Harrison's Inheritance tracks.

Nikki Bedi and Richard Coles are joined by Miles Jupp, comedian, writer and actor who pops up in everything from the Vestry in Rev, the press room in The Thick of It, a Greek Island in The Durrells and recently, the desert in SAS Rogue Heroes.  He's also written novels, radio series and presented the News Quiz.

Cariad Lloyd is a comedian who lost her father at a young age and has since dealt with her grief through her podcast, Griefcast. She talks openly and honestly about grief and its effects with her guests, who include authors, comedians and other public figures. But how does death blend with comedy?  She joins us.

We also have author Anstey Harris, whose new fiction book has been inspired by her own adoption and research into her birth relatives. Connecting with a community of fellow adoptees on social media has helped her process some of the feelings she has had about her history.  

Dr Sean Kingsley is a Saturday Live listener who contacted us about researching his family story.  When we heard he was also a marine archaeologist, we thought - let's get him on the show!

Blake Harrington from The Inbetweeners chooses his Inheritance Tracks: Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses and Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen performed by Baz Luhrman.
and we have your Thank You from someone you were unable to thank at the time. 

Producer: Corinna Jones

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