Sara Cox, Richard Curtis, Lee Mack, Josie Lawrence, Andrew O'Neill, Hiss Golden Messenger, Francesca Belmonte
Clive Anderson is joined by Richard Curtis, Sara Cox, Lee Mack, Josie Lawrence, Andrew O'Neill, Francesca Belmonte and Hiss Golden Messenger for conversation, music and comedy.
Clive talks to Richard Curtis, award-winning, international film-director and script writer, and the creator of 'Four Weddings and a Funeral', 'Love Actually', 'Notting Hill' and 'Mr Bean', about his new children's book 'Snow Day' and his adaptation with Paul Mayhew Archer of Roald Dahl's 'Esio Trot', as part of the Â鶹ԼÅÄ's Xmas programming.
In new film 'Bonobo' comedienne and actress Josie Lawrence leads a commune whose social structure, like that of the Bonobo ape, centres around recreational sex. Hilarity ensues.
Clive's co-host Sara Cox meets comic Andrew O'Neill; transvestite, and 'pharmacist baffler'. He is also married and in a steam-punk band, and his current Radio 4 show examines gender identity, using his own experiences.
And mid sell-out tour, multi-award winning star of 'Not Going Out' and 'Would I Lie To You'? Lee Mack talks sitcoms, well-crafted gags and sharp one-liners.
With music from Hiss Golden Messenger who performs 'Saturday's Song' from his album 'Lateness of Dancers', available now on Merge Records. And more music from Francesca Belmonte who performs her new single 'Stole', available on Monday 29th December on False Idols.
Producer: Sukey Firth.
