Les McKeown and Olly Murs

Steve, Tim and the Old Woman chat to 60s pop star Gerry Marsden and X-Factor runner up Olly Murs, and try and out-trivia each other with more brain-busting Factoids.

Steve, Tim and The Old Woman chat to 60s pop star Gerry Marsden about him taking to the road again on a nostalgic 60s tour, and X Factor runner up Olly Murs who's about to release his debut single and album.

There are more brain-busting Factoids for you to ponder, including: why the EU have weighed in on an argument about whether Cornish pasties contain swede or turnip and what the top flight of an unladen pigeon is.

In this afternoon's top notch Talkie bits, the Old Woman reveals that she gets messages from space and how she's going in for a full service next week... Tim ribs Steve over his new golfing hobby and we tickle our ribs with some of award winner Tim Vine's witty one liners.

Today's Oldies are chosen by 'allotment gal' Carole Jones from Stroud in Gloucestershire who treats us to some unusual and underplayed classics from Queen, The Alan Price Set and Peter Sarstedt.
