Toy Story 3 opens in the UK today. It's been over a decade since the last instalment, so what can cinemagoers expect from the new 3D extravaganza? Colin talks to the film's director Lee Unkrich and producer Darla Anderson about the new characters, special effects and why it's taken so long.

Mel Gibson is set to return home to Australia amid allegations of domestic turmoil. Is his career in Hollywood finished or can he make another comeback? Ray Bennett - UK based critic for the Hollywood Reporter - gives the lowdown on Gibson's current travails.

Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington join Colin on the day of release of the DVD of The Ricky Gervais Show animated series. Ricky and Stephen give Karl a hard time, and Ricky gives his dieting tips and discusses the parameters of comedy.

Lord Mandelson discusses his memoirs The Third Man. He responds to the frustration of Labour leadership contenders being overshadowed by the publication of his memoirs, and tells Colin the truth about his relationship with Gordon Brown and Tony Blair. He justifies timing of the publication of his memoirs, so soon after Labour ceded power and gives his assessment of the complexities of Gordon Brown's character: lively and amusing off air, serious and dour on air - plus his reflections on Bigotgate and the changing face of Britain.
