Clive Anderson with choreographer Gillian Lynne and actors Warren Clarke and Ralf Little. Nikki Bedi talks to Jerry Dammers. With music from Ben L'Oncle Soul.

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

Choreographer Gillian Lynne certainly knows how to pull some dance moves. She was star dancer at the London Palladium, acted opposite Errol Flynn in the movies and danced with all the greats on early TV. Gillian talks about choreographing The Phantom of the Opera which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year with a DVD/CD box set recorded at London's Royal Albert Hall.

Clive has a cup of tea and a chin-wag with Ralf Little about writing and starring in his new Sky 1 sitcom 'The CafΓ©'. Acting as the social hub of a seafront town, Cyril's CafΓ© sees all walks of life pass through it's doors for a chat and a bacon sarnie. Pass the sugar please Ralf!

The much too young Nikki Bedi will be talking to her very special guest Jerry Dammers about founding 2 Tone Records and ska revival band 'The Specials'. His latest musical venture 'Jerry Dammers Spatial AKA Orchestra' is a mash-up of Sun Ra, Massive Attack, Specials and reggae, all filtered through Dammer's unique musical vision. They're performing at The Barbican as part of London's Jazz Festival on Friday 18th November.

Well known for being one half of Yorkshire detective duo 'Dalziel and Pascoe', Warren Clarke has returned to the stage and behind the doors of Number Ten to perform as the cigar-smoking Winston Churchill in Ben Brown's political drama 'Three Days In May' at The Trafalgar Studios in London.

The beautifully bow-tied French soul sensation Ben l'Oncle Soul performs 'Soulman'. And the comedy-jazz juggernaut that is The Horne Section will be pulling in to perform 'If We Ever Get Any Groupies' from their part improvised, part performance, part party of a West End show.

Producer: Cathie Mahoney.
