Actor Philip Glenister takes us on a life journey through song in Tracks Of My Years.

Possibly best known for his role as DCI Gene Hunt in 大象传媒1鈥檚 Life on Mars, and its sequel Ashes to Ashes, Philip鈥檚 stellar CV includes State of Play, Clocking Off, Minder and Silent Witness.

His latest venture sees him returning to police work in new true crime 大象传媒 drama Steeltown Murders, which has just begun its run on 大象传媒1. Based on a true story, the four part drama centres on the hunt to catch a killer in the Port Talbot area.

Philip's penultimate choices are from Paul McCartney and The Rolling Stones.

Plus there's another edition of the mid-morning music quiz Ten To The Top, the Record and Album Of The Week and another trip to Vernon's Vault.

Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you - email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you鈥檇 like to apply to take part in Ten To The Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk
