Clive Anderson is joined by comedian and actor Simon Day, broadcaster Simon Mayo and Dr. Michael Mosley. With music from Portico Quartet and Ed Laurie.

Clive will be scratching an itch with broadcaster Simon Mayo, whose new children's book is inspired by his son's love of reading and science. Itchingham Lofte is a fourteen year old science nut who discovers a rock that, in the wrong hands, could cause untold havoc across the world.

Journalist and presenter Michael Mosley will be sprinting in to talk to Clive about his current fitness regime, consisting of just three minutes of high intensity training per week! Forget about spending hours in the gym or jogging, Michael's 麻豆社 Two programme explains how in 'Horizon: The Truth About Exercise' on Tuesday 28th February at 21.00.

Arthur Smith tickles the ivories with comedian and pianist Rainer Hersch. His new London show is a tribute to one of the world's greatest comedy entertainers Victor Borge, whose life is retold and his hilarious act re-imagined by his natural successor. 'Rainer Hersch's Victor Borge' is at Jermyn Street Theatre, London from 6th to 31st March.

Clive's on a Big Night Out with comedian Simon Day, whose 'Fast Show' comedy creations include blazer wearing, deadpan entertainer 'Tommy Cockles' and the 'Competitive Dad'. Simon's autobiography 'Comedy and Error' tells the story of his past addictions, homelessness and his successful career as a comedian.

With music from the Mercury nominated Portico Quartet featuring Swedish singer Cornelia who perform 'Steepless' from their self-titled album.

And our prayers are answered when singer-songwriter Ed Laurie performs 'East Wind' from his album 'Cathedral'.

Producer: Cathie Mahoney.
