Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today, actor, writer and comedian Simon Pegg shares his 'First, Last and Everything' - that’s the first record he owned, the most recent one he’s enjoyed and the record that means ‘everything’ to him. Simon reminisces about his first ever vinyl record - a Laurel and Hardy single he requested for Christmas. He discusses the band that is his latest music passion, as well as his enduring love of The Beatles. He also chats about his role in the latest Mission Impossible movie.

Simon is best known for co-creating and starring in the surreal TV sitcom series Spaced, as well as much-loved comedy films including Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. He has played Benji Dunn in the Mission Impossible film franchise since 2006.

Also on the show... long-running feature ‘The Chain’ which gives listeners the chance to pick a track that links in some way to the last. The list now contains over 8000 songs.

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