Michael Palin on Monty Python, American art and Brazil; Monty Halls on underwater adventures; Uruguay legalises the marijuana trade; Noughts and Crosses day and The Moan-In.
Michael Palin has travelled the length and breadth of the globe for his TV travelogues and is set to perform alongside his Monty Python co-stars in public again in 2014. He tells England fans what they can expect in Brazil ahead of next summer's World Cup, pays homage to the American painter Andrew Wyeth, and explains why ideally he would have preferred next year's Python reunion shows to perform in smaller more intimate venues.
As calendar watchers celebrate the fact that today's date is 11/12/13, numerologist Sonia Ducie explains the significance of the apparently auspicious numerical sequence on what's been called Noughts and Crosses day.
Monty Halls is a diver, explorer & former Royal Marine. He explains how he helped integrate former ANC fighters into the South African army, and describes the challenge of undertaking some of the world's most dangerous drives to solve underwater mysteries.
And Nikki Fox joins Richard to judge the quality of listeners' complaints in The Moan In.
