Musician PAUL CARTER of Flotation Toy Warning gives us the five tracks he will meet in Hell!
Paul takes us through the five tracks he will meet in Hell, as well as the formation (and near destruction) of Flotation Toy Warning; what it is like to switch between rock star and day job; and whether being good at guitar destroys your punk credentials. Plus, the worst job Paul has ever done causes Hell's H.R. department something of a moral dilemma...

Jenny Colgan, writer
Best-selling novelist JENNY COLGAN gives us the five tracks she will meet in Hell!
Jenny is responsible for producing some of the greatest romantic comedies in all of fiction, as well as some of the greatest Doctor Who stories yet to be seen on TV. We talked to her about both of these things, as well as how she is able to produce a new book every year, how she got into writing novels, her early days in comedy and what it feels like to watch all your friends go off to be hugely successful, the Doctor Who episode she will meet in Hell, and she gave us her Infernal Playlist which, yes, is the point of the show and everything but at least two of the people in the conversation would have been just as happy talking exclusively about Doctor Who for the whole thing.
