Frank Skinner talks to Grant about his Edinburgh Fringe show Crowd Work and his Work in Progress shows. They also reflect on how comedy has changed over the recent decades. Stockard Channing from Grease and West Wing talks about her directing debut at the Edinburgh Fringe with David Westhead, W1A and stage actor, as they bring Krapp's Last Tape for a full run at this year's Edinburgh Fringe. They discuss the themes of the show, which involves looking back at recorded memories, which leads them to talking about their own memories, including Grease. Stockard talks about the late Jeff Conway, who played Kenicki in the film, and having to fight for her song There are Worse Things I Could Do in the movie. David talks about his charity, which helps young people in difficult circumstances train in filmmaking and is receiving all of the proceeds from the Fringe run. Amanda Dwyer talks about the album that shaped her for Grant's daily 5 Things feature. Grant continues with the Afternoons Archive Quiz, where listeners guess a year based on a series of clues.
