With actor Paterson Joseph

Adam Dowling on BBC Radio Sussex

Available for 29 days

Adam is back, and his first guest is Paterson Joseph, a man who you'll have seen in things like Wonka, Doctor Who and Peep Show. Now, he's taking his one-man show ‘Sancho & Me’ to the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford. Part-biography and part-dramatized readings from his novel ‘The Secret Diaries of Charles Ignatius Sancho’, it tells the story of the first man of African heritage to vote in Britain. We also meet Regina George! Adam chats to Vivian Panka, who plays the cult Hollywood character in the musical version of "Mean Girls", coming our way on tour. And another round of Magic Music, now past its 600th edition. Can you name the hit song when we turn off all the instruments bar one?
