Arlene is joined by actor Gary Lewis for a preview of the new series of TV thriller Vigil, author Bella Mackie is in conversation, and comedian Marjolein Robertson is on the show.

Arlene chats to writer Bella Mackie, author of How To Kill Your Family, and What A Way To Go.  Her latest novel, Claws Out! has just been published, about a social climber who is on the hunt for a fourth husband, after her previous spouses all died in mysterious circumstances...

TV thriller Vigil is back next week. So far we've had white-knuckle rides on a nuclear submarine and into shady drone warfare; for its third season they are headed to a remote Arctic research base. Arlene is joined by actor Gary Lewis for a preview.

Today in our 5 Things that Shaped Me feature comedian Marjolein Robertson talks about a person who has inspired her - it's a very unexpected choice!!

Arlene continues the Afternoons Archive Quiz, giving listeners a series of audio clues with the aim of guessing the year they allude to.
