Synopsis

David Simon, creator of the acclaimed TV series The Wire, and his wife, crime writer Laura Lippman discuss what it's like to have two writers living in the same household and the crossover between fact and fiction in their work.

Comedian Natalie Haynes and music writer Dave Hepworth give their verdict on some of this year's Christmas records from artists as diverse as Glasvegas and Aled Jones:

The Feeling - Feeling Like Christmas
Status Quo - It’s Christmas Time
Chris Difford and the Decorations - Let’s Not Fight This Christmas
Glasvegas - Christmas Album - A Snowflake Fell (And It Felt Like A Kiss)
George Michael - December Song (I Dreamed Of Christmas)
Terry Wogan and Aled Jones - Little Drummer Boy/Peace On Earth
Wombats - Is This Christmas

The Daily Mail's Georgia Coleridge joins Mark Lawson to discuss her selection of books to give younger readers this Christmas.
