The Shipping Forecast's Lord Prescott, Chalet Girl's Bill Bailey, Emma Freud on 'Twit Relief'. Plus Moyles and Mayo on breaking records, and Jessica Hynes on her Olympic comedy.

There's a Comic Relief theme to the programme this afternoon.

The former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott joins Richard for a wide-ranging interview, in which he explains why he will be reading the Shipping Forecast on 成人论坛 Radio 4 for Comic Relief.

Emma Freud's also on the show. She's running the Comic Relief project 'Twit Relief', which allows you to bid for celebrities to follow you on Twitter.

Chris Moyles discusses his attempt to break Simon Mayo's record for the longest ever continuous radio broadcast, and Stephen Mangan takes a break from rehearsals to talk about a Comic Relief kazoo orchestra record attempt at the Royal Albert Hall.

Away from Comic Relief, Bill Bailey's got a new film out - Chalet Girl. He tells Richard about filming the British romantic comedy, set in the Alps and Acton.

And Richard reviews the week's TV with guests including Jessica Hynes, who's in 成人论坛 Four's new comedy about the London Olympics, Twenty Twelve.
