Literary - Top author Ian McEwan comes to Norwich as part of the N&N Festival to read extracts from his latest book, Solar. He appears at the UEA at 7pm. Call 01603 766400 for more.

Telly - Did you catch the new detective series Luther last week? It's really rather good if somewhat bewildering. Don't miss Idris Elba in the title role on BBC1 at 9pm.

Radio - Charlie Brooker (acerbic newspaper columnist) hosts a new comedy panel show called So Wrong It's A Right on Radio 4 at 10pm. Sounds fun - plenty of topical naughtiness, I'd think!

Cabaret - Check out the Spiegeltent in Norwich's Chapelfield Gardens from 10.30pm for some late night entertainment. Expect live bands, dancing and a few surprises. Ohh! Tickets are just �5. More details on 01603 766400.
