Antonio Carluccio and Dr Hilary Jones

Steve, Tim & Janey chat to Dr Hilary Jones and Italian chef Antonio Carluccio and bring you three hours of music and more amazing Factoids to impress your friends with.

Dr Gorgeous - Hilary Jones - join Steve, Tim and Janey for a late summer surgery and discusses cholesterol, statins, obesity and germs. Antonio Carluccio - the Italian chef and restaurateur - shares his passion for his country's cuisine and gets rudely interrupted by a text from his mobile phone provider.

There are even more choice chunks of Talkie bits - including news of a man stopped at customs with 55,000 Euros in his pants and why you shouldn't paint your lounge yellow.

This afternoon's Oldies have been chosen by Des Nichols in Rottingdean in East Sussex. Des treats us to some gems from Focus, John Lennon and Joe Walsh.

In the fascinating Factoids, discover how long a chap's beard would be if they just let it grow and what part of their body cockroaches can live without for a few weeks.
