Omad Djalili and Rebecca Front

Richard Bacon with Omid Djalili, Rebecca Front and Simon Cowell's big brother Tony. Plus how Twitter is changing the landscape of celebrity gagging orders.

Omid Djalili chats to Richard ahead of his first stand-up tour in over three years. Rebecca Front, star of The Thick of It, on her role in multi-award winning animated sitcom Stressed Eric, now released on DVD.

And Simon Cowell's brother Tony reflects on his sibling's expanding TV commitments in the US, and whether British TV will suffer as a result of his absence.

Plus: can allegations made on Twitter about celebrities' private lives made on Twitter circumvent the injunctions that affect mainstream media, and where does the balance lie between individuals' right to privacy versus freedom of expression?
