Peter Allen and Jane Garvey meet a descendant of Confederate General Robert E Lee - the man behind America's most toxic statue. Plus, Madhur Jaffrey and Good Week Bad Week.
Peter Allen and Jane Garvey take an in depth sideways look back at the past seven days and look ahead to what will be making headlines next week.
The personalities making the news come under the microscope in Good Week Bad Week. Tonight's panel includes associate editor of the Daily Mirror, Kevin Maguire, the Telegraph's Brexit editor, Asa Bennett, and Amy Grier, features editor at Cosmopolitan.
Famous for making Brits fall in love with Indian cuisine, this week's birthday guest is actor and cookery writer, Madhur Jaffrey. The 84 year old looks back on a life spanning Indian independence, partition, and a career in film and food.
And finally, who was the man immortalised in the statue anti- racist campaigners in Charlottesville want torn down? We hear from a descendant of General Robert E. Lee and how she thinks modern Americans should view her ancestor.
