Peter Curran is joined by one of America's most enduring and legendary singer-songwriters, Don McLean. The man behind American Pie talks about his UK tour and latest album 'Addicted to Black'. He also performs one of his classic hits 'Vincent' (Starry Starry Night) live in the studio.
Maureen Lipman and Anne Reid reprise their roles as the competitive, matriarchal pen pals Irene and Vera as 'Ladies of Letters' returns for a second series to ITV3.
Writer and documentary film maker Jon Ronson describes what it's like to see your book transferred to the silver screen. His international bestseller 'The Men Who Stare At Goats' was turned into a film in 2009 starring George Clooney and Ewan McGregor.
6Music's Gideon Coe bares his soul to Tim Samuels as they discuss the reasons why men are turning to therapy to cope with the tensions of modern day life. Tim's documentary 'Men In Therapy' goes out on Radio 4 next Friday.
And there's more music from the Mercury nominated musical pioneers Sweet Billy Pilgrim, performing 'Kalypso' from their album 'Twice Born Men'.
