This week we get all textual with NEIL TENNANT’S new book ‘100 Lyrics and a Poem’ – is he the pop TS Eliot or the Rave Larkin? – and gaze aghast at Julia Davis’s utterly filthy new comedy ‘SALLY4EVER’ in which a self-freeing and self-actualising lesbian affair turns into a disaster all round. Plus ROBYN’s new record of heartbreak on the dancefloor, Bobby Gillespie takes on The Man by refusing to dance with Michael Portillo on the BBC’s ‘This Week’… and much more.

ANDY MILLER of the brilliant books podcast Backlisted is our extra special guest for the week.
