Joining Gabby, Paul Nixon - former England wicket keeper; 5 live's golf correspondent Iain Carter, who's in Dubai for the final of the European Tour; Danny Fullbrook, chief football writer at The Star; and 5 live's tennis correspondent Jonathan Overend at the O2 Arena.
In the second hour, the energy regulator Ofgem says profits per customer at electricity and gas suppliers have risen almost 40% in the last three months. British Gas, Scottish & Southern and Scottish Power have all announced price rises recently. We speak to Audrey Gallagher, head of energy at the watchdog Consumer Focus.
And pantomime season is officially here - our entertainment reporter Colin Paterson is at the Piccadilly Theatre in London. He's joined in the final half-hour by Les Dennis, who's playing Wishee Washee opposite Pamela Anderson in Aladdin in Liverpool; Stavros Flatley, taking the role of the Cypriot Royal Family in Dick Whittington in Milton Keynes; and Anita Dobson who's the Wicked Fairy Karabosse in Sleeping Beauty in Richmond.
