Richard Wilson, Asian Network's Raj & Pablo and The Great British Barbershop Boys

Steve, Tim Smith and Janey Lee Grace chat to Asian Network DJs Raj and Pablo, actor Richard Wilson and barbershop quartet The Great British Barbershop Boys.

On today's Big Show, Steve, Tim Smith and Janey Lee Grace chat to the enthusiastic hosts of 大象传媒 Asian Network's Love Bollywood show Raj and Pablo, who introduce the team to some of the Bollywood scene's biggest stars and hits. Actor and star of Merlin, Richard Wilson pops in to talk about this weekend's series finale, although he's determined not to give much away! And boyband with a twist The Great British Barbershop Boys give us a barbershop masterclass and treat us to some festive classics.

In the Talkie bits the team discuss the latest eviction from the jungle in I'm A Celeb and how humans hibernate like squirrels in the winter.

In the brain-busting Factoids, the team reveal the colour of a polar bear's skin, where in England lays claim to being the first street to be lit with electric bulbs and which country can boast the most doughnut shops per person (and it's not where you'd think!).

David Clarke from Norbury chooses today's Non Stop Oldies - he picks a smoochy number from Chris de Burgh, a cover from Roxy Music and something finger-clicking good from Dr Hook.

Plus, three hours of toe-tapping tunes including thirty minutes of classic Non-Stop Oldies, and the latest lifestyle and entertainment headlines and top notch Talkie bits.
