Nikki Bedi is joined by Terry Jones, Shlomo, Una Stubbs, Emma Freud and Fabien Riggall for an eclectic mix of chat, music and comedy. Music from the Wave Pictures and Sumie.

Nikki has just one more wafer-thin mint with Monty Python's Terry Jones. National Theatre Wales is adapting Terry's children's stories for the stage. Once upon a time in a kingdom far, far away lived a princess, four crazy knights, an angry fairy, a dragon (of sorts) and a very Silly King! 'Silly Kings' is at Cardiff Castle from 19th December until 4th January.

Nikki's got beatboxer and Mouthtronica Shlomo on a loop and talks to him about creating a magical seascape of sounds using human voices for a production of 'The Little Mermaid'. A tale of adventure, courage and the pursuit of true love, diving into a world where sea-folk dwell amongst iridescent corals, and swaying seaweed. 'The Little Mermaid' is at Bristol Old Vic until 18th January.

Emma Freud Aint Afraid of No Ghost! She talks to Fabien Riggall; founder of Future Cinema, an immersive experience, allowing its audience to integrate themselves into the narrative. His latest venture offers 'Ghostbusters' fans the chance to inhabit the world of three eccentrics who start a ghost catching business. Who ya gonna call? 'Future Cinema' is at London's Troxy on 22nd and 23rd December.

Nikki talks to 'Sherlock' actress Una Stubbs about playing Miss Chambers in new drama 'The Tractate Middoth'. In a quiet academic library, John Eldred seeks out the help of young Mr Garrett in his search for an obscure Hebrew text. But there is something unusual about this book and something not entirely scholarly about Eldred's intentions. It's on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Two on 25th December at 21.30.

With music from The Wave Pictures, who perform 'Red Cloud Road (Part 2)' from their album 'City Forgiveness'. And from Sumie, who performs 'Show Talked Windows' from her self-titled debut album.

Producer: Sukey Firth.
