Adam's guest is comedy royalty John Cleese, who chats about his new Fawlty Towers book.

Adam's special guest today is comedy royalty. John Cleese chats to us about his new book, telling the behind the scenes story of the iconic Fawlty Towers. But there'll no doubt be a few other surprises too!

We also meet the local choir ‘City Of Stars’ who feature in one of this year’s biggest Christmas TV ads.

And our resident chef Rob Kirby is back with more top cooking tips direct from his restaurant in Majorca.
