'The Devonshires: The Story of a Family and a Nation' delves into the history of a family of scientists, soldiers, patrons, politicians, philanderers and powerful women. The huge personalities in the Devonshire story make for an illuminating path into the political, social and cultural changes we've undergone.

Jon Holmes scores a goal with stand up comedian Ian Stone, who's been known to Mock The Week and now presents Absolute Radio's Rock and Roll Football Show. Ian's long believed the best form of Government would be a benign dictatorship with him in charge; his latest show attempts to find solutions to some of the more intractable world problems. 'The Stone Agenda' is at E4 Udderbelly Festival, London on Thursday16th May.

Clive's All Cried Out with singer songwriter Alison Moyet, who shot to fame providing the bluesy vocals to eighties synthpop duo Yazoo. They had several smash hits such as 'Only You' and 'Don't Go' and Alison's enjoyed solo success for over thirty years. She talks to Clive about her new album 'the minutes', which she's touring later this year and performs 'Filligree'.

Clive has Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps with actor Ralf Little. Following his big break playing Antony in the Royle Family, Ralf's starred in a number of films and sitcoms. He now stars in Peter Nichols's black comedy 'A Day in the Death of Joe Egg', which portrays the love, pain, anger and strain of a young couple raising a disabled child. It's at Rose Theatre, Kingston until Saturday 18th May.

With psychedelia infused music from Jose Gonzalez's Swedish indie-rock outfit Junip, who perform 'Your Life, Your Call' from album 'Junip'.

TUE 07:30 Kerry's List (b01s7yvx)
Series 1

Episode 2

The second in a four-part sketch show co-written by and starring comedian and actress Kerry Godliman.

Kerry is a married mother of two, a stand up comedian and has two children. Her life can only properly function with her daily list - if she didn't compile this vital list, her life would simply fall apart.
Each week, this series looks at a different list and delves into Kerry's madcap world by looking at various elements of that week's list in sketches, narrative and stand up.

In this second episode, Kerry's List includes cancelling the organic food box, adopting a panda, searching through the baby's poo, being grateful, changing the water in the fish tank, learning the oboe and selling the Cath Kidston Potting Shed.

Joining Kerry is her husband Ben (played by her real husband Ben Abell) and her five year old daughter Elsie (played by Melissa Bury) together with a range of bizarre characters - including an enthusiastic council environment worker, some disgruntled satsumas, a bored therapist, a Fairy Jeanmother and a very keen gym instructor.

Any busy parent who's ever compiled a list of their own will relate to Kerry Godliman's incident filled world.

The cast includes David Pusey (who co-wrote the series), Bridget Christie, Lucy Briers, Rosie Cavaliero and Nicholas Le Prevost.

Kerry Godliman is fast establishing herself as a highly skilful stand up comic and actress, from her recent appearances on Live at The Apollo (BBC 1), Derek (C4) and Our Girl (BBC 1).
