With Mark Lawson.

Twenty-five years after publication, authors Martin Amis and Jay McInerney discuss their novels Money and Bright Lights, Big City and the literary voice they adopted for these works which helped make their literary names.

There is a review of In the Loop, a comedy about politics from Armando Iannucci, whose television credits include Brass Eye, The Thick of It and The Day Today.

Film director Stephen Parsons explains why he asked the British Board of Film Classification to give his film Wishbaby a more restrictive certificate - changing it from a 15 to an 18.

And actress Maureen Lipman explains why she sent a letter and photographs to one of her critics after reviews of her show A Little Night Music.
