Jason Byrne's new, six-part comedy series continues with stand-up and sketches on the theme of the Law.
Sketches include what happens when an innocent man questioned by the police starts to listen to his not-so-innocent conscience, and what two married personal injury lawyers might sound like if they were in bed together.
Plus, in the audience, Jason speaks to a newly qualified barrister who admits to a criminal past and a woman who talks of getting pulled over by the police whilst omitting one important fact.
And special guest, resident DJ Ivan Brackenbury, the spoof flagship presenter of Chesterfield and North Derbyshire's Hospital Radio, is on hand with his own warped take on law breaking.

BBC RADIO 2 DANCE MUSIC SEASON
Moments In Love – The History Of Chillout
Saturday 19 July
7.00-8.00pm BBC RADIO 2
|
|
As part of its Dance Music Season, BBC Radio 2 presents another opportunity to hear the history of chillout music.
Written and presented by Chris Coco – himself a chillout DJ, producer, broadcaster, critic and "music junkie" – the programme traces the genre's origins back to the experimental work of classical musicians such as Erik Satie and Claude Debussy.
Moments In Love journeys from 19th-century Paris to the "Global Chillage" of the 21st-century beach bars of Ibiza, Amsterdam's Supper Clubs, England's Malvern Hills and back once again to Paris – this time to the city's contemporary lounge bars. Chris talks to the main movers and shakers of the scene and some of its fans, who explain what the music means to them.
The programme features an interview with Jose Padilla, the man widely regarded as the father of chillout. His legendary session tapes, sound-tracking the setting sun over Ibiza's Café del Mar, became a hugely successful compilation series. The programme traces the path of this music through the electronic experiments and dub reggae of the Seventies, the beach bars and Balearic sound of Ibiza, up to the eclectic sound of chillout music today.

Music Feature – A Guide
To Accomplishment
Saturday 19 July
12.15-1.00pm BBC RADIO 3 |
|
Fiona Talkington explores attitudes to music in the late 18th and early 19th century. Young women of this period who wanted to acquit themselves creditably and to marry well were often expected to play the piano, harpsichord or harp.
Some of the sharpest observations about attitudes to music appear in Jane Austen's novels. In Pride And Prejudice, Austen gives her fictional character Caroline Bingley the job of defining "accomplishment": "A woman must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing and the modern languages to deserve the word; and besides all this, she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of walking, the tone of her voice, her address and expressions, or the word will be but half deserved."
Perhaps a more accurate picture is found in the music books of Austen herself.
She played the piano daily and her collection of song books contain an assortment of the hits of the day: Handel, folk arrangements by Haydn, Thomas Arne, William Boyce, Shield, Pleyel, Dibdin, Stephen Storace and William Jackson of Exeter. Some of the names have sunk without trace, but their music is preserved and meticulously copied by Austen.
Two hundred years later, A Guide To Accomplishment offers a fascinating insight into the private world of the amateur musician.
Fiona Talkington is joined by Dr Jeanice Brooks from Southampton University, an expert on Jane Austen's music books, which are held at Austen's last residence in Chawton, Hampshire.

Maverick violinist Nigel Kennedy returns to the Proms – after an absence of 21 years – to perform Elgar's Violin Concerto, the work that first put him on the musical map following his classic recording from 1984. He returns later in the evening for a Late Night Prom with his jazz quintet.
And tenor Andrew Kennedy – who appeared at last year's Proms as a former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist – sings Gerald Finzi's touching setting of Wordsworth's Intimations Of Immortality.
Paul Daniel conducts the BBC Concert Orchestra in this eagerly anticipated concert of British music, which also includes The Garden Of Fand by Bax, which mines deep seams of late-Romanticism.
The concert is live on BBC Radio 3 and recorded for broadcast on BBC Two on Saturday 26 July.

 Maverick violinist Nigel Kennedy Nigel Kennedy returns for his second live Prom of the evening, a jazzy Late Night. He says: "People can say I'm a classical violinist if they want to, but I've always viewed myself as a musician who plays music and not just a certain part of it."
For the past few years, Kennedy has been living in Poland, exploring the country's rich musical heritage and working with some of Poland's finest jazz musicians. This live Late Night concert showcases the fruits of his explorations.
Nigel Kennedy plays violin with Tomasz Grzegorski on saxophone, Piotr Wylezol on piano, Adam Kowalewski on double bass and percussionist Pawel Dobrowolski, together forming the Nigel Kennedy Quintet (NKQ). They are joined by singer Xantone Blacq.

Phill Jupitus's Comic Love
Saturday 19 July
10.30-11.00am BBC RADIO 4 |
 |
Phill Jupitus is passionate about newspaper comic strips. In this programme, Phill sets off to meet the people who create them and discovers why they manage to pack a political punch when other news writers don't.
Phill has been reading and collecting comic strips since he was 11. He is a self-taught cartoonist, learning the art through textbooks and experience. He has been published by NME and Time Out and has drawn for Billy Bragg – and he would love to get back to the drawing board.
In his opinion, the newspaper's four-panel comic strip is the perfect medium for satire. It's short, it packs a punch and is capable of cutting through the daily news agenda with a vengeance.
In this personal and intimate programme, Phill flies to the US to meet the big giants of the comic strip – Garry Trudeau of Doonesbury (The Guardian) and Bill Griffith of Zippy The Pinhead fame. In the UK, he meets the creators of Alex (The Daily Telegraph) and Steve Bell (The Guardian).

Alvin
Hall's World Of Money – Commodities
Saturday 19 July
12.00-12.30pm BBC RADIO 4 |
|
Financial guru Alvin Hall uncovers the places where investments seem to be untouched or are even benefiting as a result of the credit crisis. Alvin, who has built his career on Wall Street and in the Square Mile, and presented the BBC TV series Your Money Or Your Life, travels between New York and London to explore both the opportunities and the risks of putting money into things other than shares.
One of the most discussed topics at the moment is the rising cost of food and petrol. In the first programme of the series, Alvin shows listeners how, rather than feeling the pinch, they may be able to profit from the increasing cost of raw materials – otherwise known as commodities.
Alvin visits the wheat fields of England, a gold-bullion house and the New York Stock Exchange, as he talks to the experts about the positives and negatives of this fast-developing area of investment.
Later in the series, he explores investing in wine, art, film and exclusive properties.
