Kate Silverton interviews Charlie Higson about zombies, getting boys to read, and why scaring children prepares them for real life.

Charlie also talks about classic programmes The Fast Show, Bellamy's People and the spoof radio phone-in show Down the Line, which he tells Kate is coming back for a second series.

In the 5 live Forum in the final half-hour, Kate is joined by the political editor of the Sunday Mirror, Vincent Moss, liberal blogger Sunny Hundal, and businessman Ren茅 Carayol.

In the run up to Equal Pay Day and the Stonewall awards, the forum discusses whether equality is an achievable aim. And as the US prepares for mid-term elections, does the quest for popularity in the polls and the short term sales pitch get in the way of long term planning and reform in politics?
