Lindsay Duncan and Tom Ford join Graham

Lindsay Duncan drops by to talk about her starring role in 'Hay Fever' in London's West End and fashion-designer-turned-film-director Tom Ford chats during a brief visit to the UK.

Graham's first guest of the day was the acclaimed actress Lindsay Duncan. She's currently starring in London's West End in No毛l Coward's 'Hay Fever'. She talked about how working in a theatre production is like having a second family, her admiration for co-star Olivia Colman, how she voiced seven words for the character of TC-14 in 'Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace', and how she struggled to narrate Matt Lucas and David Walliams' 'Come Fly With Me' because she was laughing so much. Bless.

After 12, top designer and film director Tom Ford popped into Studio 6C, making everyone feel immensely underdressed! Tom spoke about how he started out in the fashion industry, directing 'A Single Man' starring Colin Firth and Julianne Moore, and how the recognition for the film meant more than all the fashion awards he has won.

In 'Grill Graham', single man Karl in Rotherham was looking for advice on how to find a girlfriend before September when he is due to go to his school reunion, which he doesn't want to attend alone . And then there was 15-year old Sky in Australia who has always wanted to be a ballerina, but she knows that she doesn't have the right body structure to succeed.

This week's 'I Can't Believe It's Not Better' came courtesy of Peter Jakes in Nottingham. He chose a UK Top. 10 hit from 1991 - Right Said Fred's 'I'm Too Sexy'. And John Graham from Somerset is the latest recipient of the coveted 'Tune With A Tale' coasters, after talking us through the story contained within The Divine Comedy's 'Come Home Billy Bird'.
