Clive Anderson is joined by Gary Numan, Edward Hall, Robert Popper, Fiona O'Shaughnessy and Scottee for conversation and comedy. With music from Kacey Musgraves and Teleman.

Clive talks to synth-pop pioneer Gary Numan. With hits on both sides of the Atlantic, David Bowie has said of him: "Gary Numan has written some of the finest things in British pop." Gary's brand of sexy, idiosyncratic music has filled darker dance floors for over 35 years, and he continues on a nationwide tour with his latest album 'Splinter'.

Clive treads the boards with theatre director Edward Hall. As well as running an all-male Shakespeare company, Edward is currently artistic director of the Hampstead Theatre in London. Here he is directing political drama Wonderland to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the Miners' Strike.

Scottee talks blood, sweat and tears with Irish actress Fiona O' Shaugnessy. Fiona reprises her role as Jessica Hyde, pursued by a shadowy and murderous organisation in the upcoming second series of Channel 4's dark and enigmatic conspiracy thriller Utopia.

Clive prefers to sit down to a Friday Night Dinner, as he talks to the series writer and producer Robert Popper. Robert's combined credits as a writer/producer/script editor include Peep Show, The Inbetweeners, and The IT Crowd. The multi-award winning comedy returns to Channel 4 for a third series.

With music from Grammy Award winner Kacey Musgraves performing 'Merry Go 'Round' from her debut album Same Trailer Different Park and Teleman perform '23 Floors Up' from their debut album 'Breakfast'.

Producer: Debbie Kilbride.
