Lulu, Heather Small & Anastacia and Dominic Sandbrook

Steve is joined by Tim and Janey as they chat to pop divas Lulu, Heather Small and Anastacia, and author Dominic Sandbrook. Plus, there's more fascinating Factoids and Talkie bits.

On today's Big Show, Steve, Tim Smith and Janey Lee Grace chat to pop divas Lulu, Heather Small & Anastacia who've teamed up to create an all female supergroup. The team also chat to historian, author and social commentator Dominic Sandbrook, whose new book looks back at the 1970s.

There are more fascinating Factoids, including which London building lays claim to having the most toilets, and find out what's more likely to attack you - a shark or a cow.

In the top notch Talkies, Steve reveals why people with monotonous voices are stronger and sexier than those with fluctuating voices, Tim shares his love of eavesdropping and the team try and guess the TV shows from some classic 70s themes.

This afternoon's Oldies are chosen by Colin Yarney from Eastleigh in Hampshire who picks some smashers from The Shadows, Procol Harum and Norman Greenbaum.
