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

Clive Anderson goes on several excursions this week as he's joined by the broadcaster, former political correspondent and one of Strictly Come Dancing's most popular contestants John Sergeant. For his latest two part documentary, Tracks of Empire, he journeyed 3,000 miles by train to trace the history of the great Indian railway.

With 大象传媒 Radio 4's London: Another Country season underway, playwright, actor and presenter Kwame Kwei-Armah talks about his contribution, The London Story, exploring the cultural and political changes of the last thirty years which has made London what it is today.

Deadpan stand up, QI and Have I Got News For You regular Rich Hall returns to his homeland to show that the southern states of America are much more than just rednecks, racism and hillbillies for a one off documentary for 大象传媒 Four, 'Rich Hall's The Dirty South'.

Jo Bunting talks to Irish comedian Sean Hughes. 20 years on from being the youngest ever Perrier winner, he returns to the Edinburgh fringe with his more mature offering, 'Ducks and Other Mistakes I Have Made'.

Plus there's music from acclaimed Oxford five piece Foals, who break off from their many festival apperances to perform a track from their album Total Life Forever for Loose Ends.

And from singer-songwriter Martha Tilston, who having grown up with poetry, music and art has spun her own seductive music, showcased in her latest album Lucy and the Wolves.
