with Julian Clary and Michelle Collins

Comedian and author Julian Clary chats about his latest book, and former EastEnder Michelle Collins talks about becoming the landlady of the Rovers Return in Corrie.

Graham's first guest was comedian and author Julian Clary, who popped in to talk about his latest novel 'Briefs Encountered'. The book is set in his own house in Kent which was once owned by No毛l Coward, who also features in the story. Julian also spoke about his upcoming stand up tour, working with Joan Collins and how he really enjoys the rural life with his neighbours Paul O'Grady and Paul Merton.

After 12, former EastEnder Michelle Collins came in and talked about how she's gone from being a star in Albert Square to becoming the landlady of the Rovers Return in Coronation Street. She also reminisced about appearing in the Squeeze video for 'Up The Junction', singing backing vocals for Mari Wilson and co-hosting 'The Alternative Miss Brighton' contest fifteen years ago with Graham!

In this week's 'Grill Graham', there was a man called Graham (which turned out to be confusing) who had gone to an overnight conference, ended up going back to another man's hotel room to drink and play cards, nothing more. But Graham (not Norton) wasn't sure whether to tell his boyfriend, but was worried he'd find out from someone else. Then there was someone who called themselves "Disgruntled" who had applied for flexible working, but had been turned down by their employer, which she wasn't best pleased about, hence her disgruntled state.

Tight Fit's 'Fantasy Island' was Chrissie Gibbs of Birkenhead's choice for 'I Can't Believe It's Not Better', and Val Taylor in Cambridgeshire chose 'The Unicorn' by The Bachelors which tells the Biblical story of Noah's Ark and answers the question about why there are no unicorns!
