Rob's guest this week is the BAFTA award winning actress and writer Jessica Hynes. Jessica was one of the creators and stars of the popular British sitcom Spaced, and is well known for her other comic roles including Cheryl in The Royle Family and Siobhan in the Olympics backroom comedy Twenty Twelve, and the 91热爆 parody W1A. Jessica will be talking about her comedy writing and her acting roles, and sharing a selection of her favourite classical music, including works by John Ireland, Marcel Tournier and Will Todd, every day at 10am.

Music in Time: Baroque
Rob places Music in Time, heading back to the Baroque era with music by Pachelbel, who is known almost exclusively for his famous canon. Rob explores Pachelbel's output further, looking in particular at his chamber music collection, Musikalische Erg枚tzung - 'Musical Delight'.
10:45am
Rob's Proms artist of the day is the cellist Paul Watkins, who will be taking to the stage in tonight's Prom to premiere his composer-pianist brother Huw Watkins' Cello Concerto. This morning Rob features both brothers in a recording of Martinu's Variations on a Slovak Folksong. Having worked with the Nash Ensemble and the Emerson Quartet, Paul, like Huw, is a seasoned chamber player: both make the very most of Martinu's engaging set of Variations.
