Clive Anderson's guests are comedian Ben Miller, actor Roger Lloyd Pack and mathematician Marcus du Sautoy, and Rachael Stirling talks to impressionist Jon Culshaw.

Clive Anderson presents an eclectic mix of conversation, comedy and music.

Actor Ben Miller chats to Clive Anderson in the studio. With Moving Wallpaper, The Armstrong and Miller Show, The Worst Week of my Life and not quite a PhD in Quantum physics under his belt, Ben Miller reprises his role as Sir James Lester in the new series of Primeval.

Having starred in such successful television sitcoms as Only Fools and Horses, The Vicar of Dibley and most recently The Old Guys, Roger Lloyd Pack returns to the theatre to take the lead in George Bernard Shaw's biting fiscal satire Widowers' Houses in a production at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester.

Prof Marcus du Sautoy imparts some of the wonder and power of mathematics - and in a new edition of Horizon is charged with enthusing QI's Alan Davies with a love of the subject and they set of on a mathematical road trip together.

Rachael Stirling talks to impressionist Jon Culshaw, who has impersonated Tony Blair, William Hague and Ozzy Osbourne.

Plus comedy from Tony Law, who is currently touring the UK, and music from 19-year-old singer and songwriter Jessica Lea Mayfield, with Kiss Me Again from her debut album With Blasphemy So Heartfelt.

And hailing from a horse farm along the banks of the Mississippi River, William Elliot Whitmore performs Hell or Highwater from his album Animals in the Dark.
