大象传媒 Breakfast's Bill Turnbull and Julian Lennon guest

Mr Norton welcomes Bill Turnbull ahead of 大象传媒 Breakfast's move north - and uncovers his long-hidden secret - plus almost-birthday boy Julian Lennon chatted about his new single.

Another 'wide-ranging', shall we say, show this week where recent birthday boy Graham (who doesn't look a day over 60) revealed himself to be a great impressionist, Maria McErlane went from 'Postmistress Of Pain' to 'Queen Cockroach' and we discovered more about gardening and bees than we would ever possibly want to know.

Graham Jones in Herne Bay made a song and a (Clog) Dance about choosing a Violinski clunker as this week's I Can't Believe It's Not Better track. We've heard worse Graham. But not by much.

After 11 o'clock Bill Turnbull dropped in to chat about 大象传媒 Breakfast's move to Salford and also revealed the difference between bees and wasps, why there's no dirt on Sian Williams and the shocking truth about his real name.

This week's Tune With A Tale came courtesy of the very chatty Chris Jones in Brighton, who gave us his take on Elkie Brooks Pearl's A Singer. What he didn't say was that Pearl must be tiny, as she has to stand up when she plays the piano...

And Graham's second guest was Julian Lennon who revealed his frustrations with the music industry, explained his fascination with photography and treated us to a rare Radio 2 outing for Massive Attack's 'Teardrop'.
