Clive Anderson is joined by Barbara Taylor-Bradford, Benjamin Zephaniah, Tony Gardner, Seb Emina and Robin Ince. With music from Fimber Bravo and Sivu.
Clive's joined by best-selling novelist and Woman of Substance Barbara Taylor Bradford, who tells Clive what has driven her to publish twenty-eight novels, selling eighty-two million copies worldwide. Barbara's latest novel 'Secrets From The Past' tells the story of war photographer Serena, who, following the death of her father, steps away from the war zone to reassess her life.
From one war zone to another as Clive defuses an explosive encounter with actor Tony Gardner. Waltzing in from his Last Tango In Halifax, Tony is now playing the commander of an entire bomb disposal detachment in Afghanistan. Â鶹Éç Three's new comedy drama 'Bluestone 42' follows the camaraderie, bonds and banter of a bunch of soliders and how they pass the time in between saving lives. The series starts on Tuesday 5th March at 22.00.
The over easy Robin Ince enjoys a full English with author and breakfast blogger Seb Emina. His new book 'The Breakfast Bible' about the most important meal of the day intersperses the practicalities of putting a good breakfast together with essays and miscellanies from a crack team of eggsperts..and that's no yolk!
Clive takes refuge with prolific writer and Rastafarian dub poet Benjamin Zephaniah whose powerful novel 'Refugee Boy' charts one boy's courageous fight for recognition, alone in a strange country. Benjamin's book has been adapted for the stage by fellow poet Lemn Sissay and is at West Yorkshire Playhouse from Saturday 9th to Saturday 30th March.
With music from London based singer-songwriter Sivu, who performs his debut single 'Better Man Than He'.
And from award winning steel pan maestro Fimber Bravo who plays 'The Way We Live Today' from his solo album 'Con-Fusion'.
Producer: Cathie Mahoney.
