Richard Bacon talks to chat show host Justin Lee Collins, Matthew Vaughn about KickAss, Claudia Winkleman on hosting Film 2010 and Joanna Lumley on her Gurkhas campaign.

Claudia Winkleman is set to take over from Jonathan Ross as the new host of 大象传媒's Film 2010. She tells Richard about her excitement at landing the role.

Justin Lee Collins is set to present a new late night ten part chat show for Five. The hirsute comedy host tells Richard what to expect from Justin Collins: Good Times; he talks about his song for Eurovision, his early career as a stand-up comic and why Bristol will always remain home

It's a controversial film which has been criticised for its high levels of violence and bad language, but the comic superhero movie Kick-Ass, is set to be a box office success. So does Kick-Ass mark the end of the road for traditional comic book adaptations? Director Matthew Vaughn explains the idea behind the controversial picture.

Joanna Lumley has spearheaded the campaign to enable Gurkha veterans to settle in the UK. In the wake of criticism of her role in the Gurkha Justice Campaign, and an apology from a government minister, the actress and campaigner tells Richard why she'll continue to fight for the Gurkhas.

Is there anything that can't be turned into a stage musical? Theatre impresario David Ian, whose company has been behind West End hits including Grease, Cats, Flashdance and La Cage aux Folles, joins Richard in the studio, along with theatre critics Benedict Nightingale and Michael Coveney to discuss the hits and misses.
