Steve and Tim chat to film star Kevin Bacon, elderly lifestyle guru Barry from Watford and Andrew Cowles - partner of the late Boyzone star Stephen Gateley.

Steve, The Old Woman and Tim Smith chat to star of films like Tremors and Flatliners - Kevin Bacon - about his musical leanings and why he's developed a new genre - SoCoFoRo - for his music; the team also hear from elderly lifestyle guru Barry from Watford about who he discovered he was in a past life and why Britain's Got Talent has ruined his and Margaret's plans for a round the world trip of a lifetime; finally, there's Andrew Cowles - partner of the late Boyzone star Stephen Gateley - who talks about how he has now completed the children's book that Stephen was writing before he died.

Aside from the top quality guests on offer, Steve, Tim and The Old Woman also bring you three hours of brain-busting Factoids and well as the latest lifestyle and showbiz news, some finely crafted Talkie bits, all topped off with tonnes of toe-tapping tunes.

Plus there are some amazing Friday Factoids to tickle and delight you. Today, discover how much you'd weigh if you lived on Mars, who the participants in the world's shortest war of 38 mins were and how many warts a warthog actually has.

Today's Oldies are chosen by 63 year old mature student Alan Brown from Dundee who provides us with some classics from Edith Piaf and Bobby Pickett and the Crypt Kickers.

As if that wasn't enough for you there's all the latest lifestyle and entertainment headlines and top notch Talkie bits including a chat about how women who marry younger men die earlier and how skipping housework can keep you healthie.
