Hacker T Dog v Lauren Layfield Ten To The Top!

In a special Ten To The Top, C大象传媒 icons Hacker T Dog and Lauren Layfield battle it out! Plus broadcaster Clare Balding continues her 10 song journey on Tracks Of My Years.

In a normal, innocent edition of our mid morning music quiz Ten To The Top, C大象传媒 icons Hacker T Dog and Lauren Layfield battle it out! First appearing together on screen back in 2015, the pair became famous all over again in 2022 when an old clip of them - "we're just normal men....we're just innocent men!" - went viral.

Plus broadcaster Clare Balding takes us on a 10 song journey this week on Tracks Of My Years. Clare is quite simply one of the UK's greatest broadcasters, having the ability to turn her hand from the Olympics to Crufts to Sports Personality Of The Year to election coverage. Having helmed the latter for Channel 4 last week, she's currently the face of the 大象传媒 at Wimbledon, and it's no surprise that she's a previous winner of the RTS Sports Presenter Of The Year Award.

Also renowned as a best-selling author, earlier in the summer Clare published her latest book, 'Animal All Stars'. Described as 'a hilarious and fact-packed new non-fiction title', it sees contestants from across the animal kingdom taking part in the ultimate animal sports day! In the book Clare tells us about some of the most mind-blowing and unusual skills of her favourite animals, as creatures great and small go head-to-head in eight unpredictable sporting events.

Plus there's a trip into the 大象传媒 Archive with Vernon's Vault, and the new Record and Album Of The Week.

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
