Clive Anderson is joined by Neneh Cherry, Tom Hollander, Lynn Barber, John Hegarty, Sara Cox and Cody ChesnuTT for an eclectic mix of conversation, music and comedy.

Clive sees a Clown in the Moon with actor Tom Hollander, who plays the lead role in brand-new Â鶹ԼÅÄ drama, 'A Poet In New York', to mark the centenary of Dylan Thomas's birth. The drama explores how the creator of some of the most memorable lines in the English language, died in a smog-ridden New York on a November day in 1953.

Clive has An Education with journalist and author Lynn Barber. In her new book 'A Curious Career', Lynn takes us from her early years as a journalist for 'Penthouse' to interrogating a huge cross-section of celebrities, ranging from politicians to film stars, comedians, artists and musicians.

Sara Cox hangs in a Buffalo Stance with singer-songwriter, rapper and broadcaster Neneh Cherry, who burst on to the 80's pop scene, paving the way for sassy, solo, female artists. Neneh performs 'Everything' from 'Blank Project'; her first solo album in 18 years.

Clive talks to advertising Guru John Hegarty, who believes that irreverence and its power to challenge and question makes his creativity stand out. His book 'Hegarty on Creativity...There Are No Rules' gives 50 provocative insights to guide you through the process and help select your best ideas.

With more music from Cody ChesnuTT, who performs 'What Kind of Cool' from his album 'Landing on a Hundred: B-Sides and Remixes.'

Producer: Sukey Firth.
