Gemma Jones and Four Nurses

Steve, Tim and Janey chat to singing medics Four Nurses and actress Gemma Jones and they bring you three hours of music, plus more amazing Factoids to impress your friends with.

We're halfway through the Big Show week and today, Steve, Tim and Janey are joined by singing medics Four Nurses and 'Bridget Jones' actress Gemma Jones who's the star of director Woody Allen's latest film.

The team try and impress each other with some more fascinating Factoids including where are the most popular places for reading around the home and a plethora of Andy Warhol trivia.

In the topical Talkie bits, Steve and team discuss how many pairs of shoes the average woman owns and how many men let their partners squeeze their spots and pluck their eyebrows.

Today's Oldies are chosen by Roger Douglas from Beccles in Suffolk who picks some foottapping gems from Ralph McTell, Dusty Springfield and Val Doonican.
