Matthew Wright and Mark Frith

Steve and Tim Smith talk to chat show host Matthew Wright and magazine editor Mark Frith. Plus, three hours of brain-busting Factoids and toe-tapping tunes.

On today's Big Show, Steve and Tim chat to the host of Five's 'The Wright Stuff' - Matthew Wright - who reveals how he almost died on Monday night after choking on some food in a restaurant but was saved thanks to the Heimlich manoeuvre. Former editor of Heat, now editor of Time Out, Mark Frith looks ahead to the weekend's Emmy awards as well as some of the big blockbuster movies heading our way this autumn.

There's a deluge of fascinating Factoids including: how much time a man spends shaving in his lifetime; which is the largest city in the world with a whopping 34 million residents and what the largest item you can order from a restaurant menu.

In the top notch Talkie bits, Steve and Tim discuss cheesy chat-up lines, the upcoming Cougar conference taking place in London next month; and what the most unforgiveable things that can happen in a restaurant are.

Today's Oldies are chosen by 53 year old park keeper David Whyley from Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire who chooses some gems from Eddie Holman, David Bowie and Chicory Tip.
