In today's show, Tony Benn tells Sarfraz Manzoor what inspired him to keep a lifetime's worth of diaries. Benn retired from Parliament in 2001 to "devote more time to politics" and he has since thrown himself into anti-war campaigning, all of which he has carefully chronicled.

It seems that Abse wandered into a Hay bookshop yesterday and came across a couple of his older collections. As they were in better nick than the ones he owned himself, he decided to buy them. The cashier, not recognising him, told Abse that he ought to charge him more, as the books were, in fact, signed, but that he'd let him off because "Dannie Abse signs everything".
