A relaxing and French-tinged show. On This Day in 1841, father of modern hypnotism Dr James Braid first became interested in his specialist subject: so we're soothed and refreshed by Dr Michael Dean's self-hypnosis record. Joe Dunthorne reads his story inspired by the Beatles hit When I'm 64, which reflects on how friendships change as time goes by; it's from a collection published by Bookslam. Serge Gainsbourg's classic record l'Histoire de Melody Nelson is being re-issued to mark its 40th anniversary, so we hear some exclusive tracks, including one that wasn't on the original release. Plus, musical treats from Jarvis's special drawer. Birthdays: Jarvis's mum, John Hammond Jr, Terry Reid and Nikolai Fraiture.
