Steve, Janey and Tim chat to to 'grumpy old man' Arthur Smith and news presenter Huw Edwards. Plus, more fascinating Factoids, choice Talkie bits, in three hours of top tunes.

Steve, Tim Smith and Janey Lee Grace chat to to 'grumpy old man' Arthur Smith about a new festival he's appearing at which takes place in an upturned inflatable purple cow, and news presenter Huw Edwards gives the team a lesson in how to shout the loudest in a press pack outside Number 10.

Plus, Steve, Tim and Janey try and out-trivia each other with some marvellous midweek Factoids. Today, be amazed as you learn what your tonsils actually do and be disgusted to find out how many male motorists like to pick their nose whilst driving.

Today's Oldies are chosen by Elaine Elliott from Porth in Mid Glamorgan, who treats us to some delightful tunes from Neil Diamond, Showaddywaddy and Bryan Adams.

Plus there's the very latest lifestyle and entertainment headlines and top notch Talkie bits. This afternoon, Janey reveals why it's always best to be truthful with your badly dressed friends and the team discuss those 'awesome' moments in life, like answering all the questions on 'Millionaire' before the contestant does and the joy of perfectly toasted toast.
