Kirsty Young and Don Black

Steve, Tim and Janey chat to songwriter Don Black and presenter Kirsty Young. Plus, the team try and out-trivia each other with more brain-busting Factoids.

Steve, Tim and Janey chat to lyricist Don Black about a new songwriter search he's involved in and Crimewatch and Desert Island Discs presenter Kirsty Young pops in to discuss 'The British at Work'.

The team also try and out-trivia each other with more brain-busting Factoids including top trivia like which are the only two London Underground stations to contain all five vowels in their name and how many mice equal a tin of cat food.

Today's Oldies are chosen by Jennifer McAvoy from Angmering in West Sussex who picks some classics from Frank Sinatra, The Rolling Stones and Rod Stewart.
