Nigel Havers charms Suzy Klein and Richard Coles, JP meets Helen Clare, a singing sensation from the 1930s, and DJ Edith Bowman shares her Inheritance Tracks.

Richard Coles and Suzy Klein are charmed by Nigel Havers. He shot to fame as Lord Lindsay in the Oscar winning film Chariots of Fire, and is best known for playing charmers, cads and conmen from Coronation Street to Downton Abbey. He describes how he transformed himself into Mick Jagger, and why he's returned to the role of Algernon Moncrieff in The Importance of Being Earnest.

A Saturday Live listener got in touch to tell us about a singing sensation from the 1930s. JP Devlin meets 98 year old Helen Clare to hear about her remarkable career.

While commuting the length of the Northern Line Amy Dicketts noticed no one ever talked to strangers. She decided to change this and now chronicles the stories of her fellow passengers.

Piano player Davis Rogan, talks about his life in New Orleans, involvement with the US TV series Treme, working as piano coach with Brad Pitt and his first visit to London for the Notting Hill Carnival.

DJ Edith Bowman chooses her Inheritance Tracks: - Blackbird by The Beatles and Slow Show by The National.
