Saturday Breakfast With

Dermot

8AM, RADIO 2

Craig David has had a busy start to the year, with gigs in both America and Britain – and he’s got a new album out called The Time Is Now. All of this follows on from Craig’s big comeback, which started with his hit 2016 album Following My Intuition. He joins Dermot O’Leary this morning to talk about the ups and downs of being in the music business. Nasty Women

9AM, 7PM, RADIO 4 EXTRA

Donald Trump called Hillary Clinton a ‘nasty woman’, so – by way of protest – a fragrance was created from frankincense, lavender and cedarwood, and marketed under the name Nasty Woman. Mixologists created a Nasty Woman cocktail, and a line of clothing proudly bearing the words Nasty Woman was launched. In this programme, the highly talented comedian and Early Man (5pm, Classic FM) impressionist Jan Ravens hosts a discussion on the Nasty Woman battle cry, and then presents comedy clips from great women comedians including Meera Syal, Hattie Jacques and Linda Smith.
