The novelist Patrick Gale joins Kate and Jason to discuss his latest book and how he nearly became a priest.

The writer Patrick Gale spent the first four years of his life in Wandsworth Prison where his father was the prison governor. Aged eight he attended Winchester Cathedral Choir School. Early life in institutions has influenced much of his work and Patrick joins Kate and Jason to talk about his latest novel, 'Take Nothing With You' and why he has a soft spot for nuns.

Kate and Jason launch their Good Morning Sunday challenge to raise some cash for Children in Need.

And prison food campaigner Lucy Vincent joins us to explain why she believes those serving time deserve better meals.
