Janice Forsyth talks to Engelbert Humperdinck, plus she discusses the Burrell Collection and a new biography of the man behind it.
Today in the show we celebrate those special novels that stay with you all your life in the company of writer Rebecca Mead whose new book is about her lifelong love of George Elliot's Middlemarch.
Engelbert Humperdinck tells us about his latest album - a collection of duets with some of the best singers in the world.
Art critic Anne Ellis visits 'Bellini to Boudin', the Burrell Collection's last exhibition before it closes for renovation.
We find out about a hidden side of Sir William Burrell's life as Sue Stephen joins us to talk about her new book, Collector's Daughter, the story of the turbulent relationship between Burrell and his daughter, Marion.
And as Bradley Wiggins makes a cameo appearance in The Archers we discuss celebrity cameos in soaps over the years.
Plus our weekly Comedy Monologue - the latest episode of Big Girls Don't Cry - and lots of great music.
