Zoe chats to Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock about The Sky At Night on 大象传媒 Four. Dr Maggie watched the programme as a child and led to a degree in Physics and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and then working on the wonderful 8m Gemini telescope in Chile, as well as the James Webb Space Telescope. Growing up Dr Maggie had always wanted to be an astronaut, but she says being a space scientist is the next best thing because I鈥檓 building instruments that go into space.

Rob Brydon tells Zoe about his brand new UK tour. A Night of Songs & Laughter tells Rob鈥檚 personal musical journey from South Wales to the West End and beyond.
He'll perform songs from Tom Waits to Tom Jones, and Guys and Dolls to Elvis. Rob and his eight-piece band will take to the road following the huge success of his previous tour and this is the first time he has created a show that includes songs and music as well as his comedy.

It鈥檚 The Why Workshop, and Zoe quizzes the QI Elves with more wonders and ponders, including your questions. If you want to ask the Elves anything you can email zoe.ball@bbc.co.uk

Along with Adam Porter on news, Jules Lang on travel and the latest from the 大象传媒 Sport's centre, she and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners, and more music that you can shake a glitterball at!
