Honor Blackman, Charlie Brooker, Peter Serafinowicz, George The Poet, The Herbaliser and The Magnetic North

Clive Anderson is joined by broadcaster and screenwriter Charlie Brooker and actresses Honor Blackman and Sarah Alexander. With music from the Herbaliser and the Magnetic North.

Clive has Pussy Galore in the studio! Original Bond Girl Honor Blackman has Clive Shaken not stirred and now stars in a new breed of zombie adventure. 'Cockneys Vs Zombies' follows a group of bank-robbing cousins trying to save their grandparents care home from developers. Whilst they're cleaning out the vault, zombies head towards the care home with an appetite for OAPs! It's available on DVD from Monday 22nd October.

The actor, comedian and twitter legend Peter Serafinowicz comes prepared to share 'A Billion Jokes' with Clive. His widely popular twitter feed is the inspiration of his new book and Vol 1 is published by Boxtree on 8th November.

Queen of bling Nikki Bedi raps with George The Poet. Hailing from North West London via Uganda, George juxtaposes his experiences of an African heritage, an inner city upbringing, and life as a Cambridge undergraduate to create social commentary through poetry. George also joins The Herbaliser to rap on their track 'A Sad State of Affairs'.

Journalist, screen burner and all-round ray of sunshine Charlie Brooker rants to Clive about his latest collection of hastily spluttered articles and scarcely literate scrawl. 'I Can Make You Hate' contains words and punctuation, but won't help you lose weight, feel smarter or feel happier about yourself.

With musical magnetism from Orcadian singer-songwriter Erland Cooper and his band The Magnetic North who perform their new single 'Rackwick' from the album 'Orkney: Symphony of The Magnetic North'.

And from hip-hop-infused funksters The Herbaliser who play 'A Sad State of Affairs' from their new album 'There Were Seven'.

Producer: Cathie Mahoney.
