Sir Trevor McDonald, Sugarland and Stephen Smith

Steve is joined by news legend Sir Trevor McDonald, country band Sugarland and journalist Stephen Smith. Plus, three hours of top tunes, amazing Factoids and all the latest news.

It's the midway point on this week's Big Show. Today, Steve, Tim Smith and Janey Lee Grace are joined by news legend Sir Trevor McDonald who reveals why he's been watching camel wrestling in Turkey, American country duo Sugarland share the pitfalls of having your own private jet and journalist and Newsnight correspondent Stephen Smith chats to the team about his new documentary looking into the history of the figleaf.

In the fascinating Factoids, the team discuss the Vietnamese man who lost an eye after holding his breath for too long, which is the only planet in our solar system not to have a ring and how fast the average raindrop travels.

In the topical Talkies, Steve, Tim and Janey chat about their feelings concerning Valentines Day and what happened when top celebrity Davids - Hasslehoff and Cameron - bumped into each other on the street recently.

The Oldies are chosen by Richard Barraclough from Southampton who picks some gems from, among others, David Bowie and Wings.
