Michael Berkeley's guest today is cartoonist Posy Simmonds, whose minutely observed reflections of contemporary middle-class mores in the characters of the Weber family delighted readers of The Guardian during the Thatcher era. Her most recent creation, The Late Gemma Bovery (inspired by Flaubert), appeared first in serial form and then as a book. Her musical choices include keyboard music by Bach, Haydn and Schubert, instrumental works by Handel, Brahms and Hilda Paredes, and an excerpt from the soundtrack to the film Paris, Texas.

Live from the Royal Albert Hall.
Gilbert and Sullivan's comic operetta Iolanthe (or The Peer and the Peri) remains as satirical about politics and the law today as it was in 1900. It charts the fortunes of Strephon, son of a mortal father and the fairy Iolanthe, as he outwits the entire House of Lords in pursuit of the fair shepherdess Phyllis.

BBC Singers, BBC Concert Orchestra, conductor Jane Glover, director David Edwards

Act 1
8.40 Twenty Minutes
Professor Roderick Swanston considers how the House of Lords is lampooned in Iolanthe and what makes the House of Lords such a perfect target for satire.

9.00 Act 2
