Well-known for her children's books including The Gruffalo and Stick Man, the former children's laureate joins Mark and Stuart to share her 'First, Last and Everything' - that鈥檚 the first record she owned, the most recent one she鈥檚 been enjoying and the record that means 鈥榚verything鈥� to her. Julia also chats about her latest work.

With a selection of music old and new to get the weekend started.
