Clive Anderson's guests include the broadcaster and journalist Janet Street-Porter who is celebrating her 80th birthday by hitting the road. In 'Janet Street Porter is Still of The Leash at 80', Street-Porter is revisiting the highs and lows of her long and unusual life and career, settling scores and telling truths. Comedian writer and actress Isy Suttie is the latest to take on the Taskmaster. As she tells Clive, she's no stranger to a dare - was this good training for the TV show? Christopher Chung is best known for playing the deluded MI5 tech specialist Roddy Ho in Slow Horses. As the acclaimed spy drama returns for a sixth series, Chung is also starring as the romantic lead Roddy Ho wishes he was in a new adaptation of Miles Franklin's 'My Brilliant Career' And music is from Altered Images who are on tour playing their hit 1981 debut album 'Happy Birthday'. Clare Grogan tells us why now is the right time to look back. Looking forward is Jordan Rakei, whose new album 'A Safe Place to Be Wild' is out in October. He joins us in the studio to perform a track. Presenter: Clive Anderson Producer: Jessica Treen
