With The Simpsons writer Mike Reiss

Adam's guest is Mike Reiss, one of the main writers on The Simpsons since its inception.

Adam's guest today is one of the main writers on The Simpsons since its inception in the late 80s. Mike Reiss claims to have written more than 50,000 jokes in his lifetime! He's now heading our way with a behind-the-scenes stage show all about his work on one of TV's biggest shows.

Adam also chats to comedian Arthur Smith, who is bringing us An Evening With Gary Lineker. Except there's no Gary - it's just him and Caroline Quentin. We're sure it'll make sense when he's on.

And we meet the Australian Shakespeare Company, who are heading our way this summer.
