Neil Hannon & The Divine Comedy, Mark Gatiss, Kate Fox, AA Dhand, Edith Bowman

Amit Dhand, Mark Gatiss and Kate Fox join Edith Bowman live in Bradford with music by The Divine Comedy.

Edith Bowman is your host for a special Loose Ends live at the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Contains Strong Language Festival in Bradford. Guests include the celebrated actor - from Sherlock to Mission Impossible - and writer - from Dr Who to Bookish - Mark Gatiss. He's at the festival starring in a Radio 4 comedy drama written by his League of Gentlemen colleague Jeremy Dyson. We'll hear from Amit Dhand, who credits working in his Dad's Bradford cornershop with providing the psychological insight needed to be a best-selling thriller writer. Writing as AA Dhand, he's behind the high octane ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ drama Virdee and his latest book The Chemist, set against a raging drugs war in Leeds, is his most personal yet, based on what he learnt while working as a Bradford community pharmacist. We'll have festival poet Kate Fox, who is also a standup, a Dr Who superfan and has a phd in northern comedy.
All this and music from The Divine Comedy's brand new album Rainy Sunday Afternoon.

Produced by Olive Clancy
