This week presenter Nicola Christie finds Times writer Caitlin Moran dropping everything for the Doctor Who Prom and hears from the Naked Violinist Tasmin Little.

Tasmin Little enthuses about the open minds of Proms audiences and discusses playing the work of Ethyl Smyth, the English composer who rebelled against her upper class background and became a leading light in the suffragette movement.

During the interview we'll hear excerpts from the Chandos recording of Ethel Smyth's Concerto for Horn and Violin, which Tasmin plays on August 4.

The theme tune to Doctor Who has spawned an entire Prom, and next we hear from Caitlin Moran and her daughters, who have strong opinions on the Daleks and the Cybermen and how they fit into the world's biggest music festival.

"The majority of the audience have got bladders the size of walnuts," says Caitlin, "and they've been still and rapt through the whole thing, we haven't heard a single squeak. It's been presented in such an accessible and friendly way."

We've also got classical editor Neil Fisher's tips for the week ahead and we introduce the latest Promscast series of new compositions reinventing the classics. This week it's a reworking of Ravel's Bolero by composer Graham Ross.
