Steve and Janey Lee Grace chat to Dr Hilary Jones and chef Tana Ramsay, try to out-trivia each other with more brain-busting Factoids, and play you three hours of the best music.

Steve and Janey Lee Grace chat to the show's resident GP - Dr Hilary Jones - about hayfever and the effect any volcanic ash may have on us this summer, as well as Hilary's pet skellington and how his Dancing On Ice injuries are faring. Janey and Steve also chat to domestic goddess, and wife of Gordon, Tana Ramsay about why on earth you'd want to add cream cheese to your garden peas.

Plus there's more brain-busting Factoids for you to digest including: how a bowl of jelly is involved in the sound of ET walking, how many noses a slug has and what Ringo Starr means in Japanese.

The Oldies are chosen by Liz Fryer from Lancaster who spoils us with some classy numbers from 6Music's Tom Robinson and Wings.

Plus there's all the latest lifestyle and entertainment headlines and top notch Talkie bits including teen sensation Justin Bieber's growing pains, why it's better to get a woman to smell off milk, how a bug wiped millions of followers from celebrity Twitter accounts and discover which American pop songstress has topped a men's magazine's poll of sexiest women.
