Paul Whitehouse & Bob Mortimer, Mike D’Abo from Manfred Mann and A Clockwork Orange.

Following the success of their TV series, Paul Whitehouse & Bob Mortimer discuss their new book, Gone Fishing.

Today, two comedy greats talk life, friendship and the joys of fishing!

Following the success of the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s Gone Fishing series, comedians and long-time friends Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse discuss their new book - Gone Fishing: a love letter to the joys of angling, the thrill of the catch and the virtue of having ‘a right daft laff with your mates’.

Shona McCarthy - Chief Executive of Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society previews this year’s events at the world's largest Arts Festival!

Following the critical acclaim for RADIO DAYS - a four volume re-issue of MANFRED MANN releases, singer MIKE D’ABO, talks about his time with the band in the 60’s as well as more recently, his solo song-writing career and much more.....

Grant will also host our regular Book Group Discussion: 20 years on since the death of Stanley Kubrick, we revisit the novel that led to one of his most controversial adaptations - Anthony Burgess’s classic title A Clockwork Orange; depicting the exploits of a gang of feral teenagers (or ‘Droogs’) on a wild spree of robbery, rampage and "ultra-violence".

All that and June 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the original UK release of KIND HEARTS & CORONETS, the jewel in Ealing Studios’ crown, and arguably one of the finest British films ever made!

Grant will discuss the theatrical re-release of the film which will be returning to cinemas in gloriously restored 4K; a wonderfully entertaining combination of biting class satire, hilarious farce and pitch-black comedy, it’s the story of a suave and elegant serial murderer!
