John Cleese chats to Adam about 50 years of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Adam's guest today is quite simply of the most respected names in the history of British comedy. John Cleese chats to Adam about 50 years of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which remains one of the most beloved comedy films ever made. Now, you have the chance to watch the movie at a theatre near you with John on stage for a Q&A afterwards!

A day earlier than usual, our resident film critic Larushka Ivan-Zadeh talks us through this week's releases on the big screen.

And there's another round of Magic Music. Can you work out one of your favourite songs ever when we turn off all the instruments bar one?
