Clive Anderson and guests with an eclectic mix of conversation, music and comedy.

Clive is joined by the Oscar nominated American actress and singer Elizabeth McGovern. Now living in London whilst maintaining a successful acting career in Hollywood, Elizabeth also fronts the band Sadie and the Hotheads and sings 'Walking My Baby Back Home' with The Nelson Brothers in the studio.

American journalist Jake Adelstein spent 12 years covering the seamier side of Japan and stumbled on a story so important and so dangerous that his life was under threat. A yakuza offered him half a million dollars not to tell it. He wrote his book 'Tokyo Vice' instead.

Master of the macabre and one of the stars of 'The League of Gentlemen' Jeremy Dyson has joined evil forces with Andy Nyman co-creator and director of Derren Brown's shows, to produce 'Ghost Stories'. Billed as a heart pounding theatrical experience, it comes to the West End with a warning that those of a nervous disposition should think very seriously before attending.

Ralf Little talks to award winning stand-up comedian Robin Ince - self-styled curator of publishing peculiarities about his own publication 'Bad Book Club'.

Considered a bit of a maverick in the music world - moving from electronica to soul, Jamie Lidell has released another album 'Compass' described as a 'thoroughly fascinating triumph'. He performs the title track in the Loose Ends studio.

And from Liverpool quintet, The Coral. Having emerged from a blossoming 'scousedelic' scene in late-2001 they are about to release their fifth studio album 'Butterfly House' on Monday 12 July with a tour starting the same night The Coral play their new single '1000 Years'
