Sanjeev Bhaskar, Michael Ball and Barry from Watford

Steve and Tim chat to West End star Michael Ball, comedian and actor Sanjeev Bhaskar and Barry from Watford. Plus, three hours of brain-busting Factoids and top notch Talkies.

It's the last Big Show of the week and Steve and co-host Tim Smith chat to West End star Michael Ball about his life on stage, comedian and actor Sanjeev Bhaskar who's looking back at his childhood homes to figure out what effect they've had on his adult life. Also, our elderly lifestyle guru Barry from Watford stops by to talk about the weather and how he and Margaret have fallen foul of the Wikileaks scandal.

In today's brain-busting Factoids, learn all about ferrets, how long a day really is and how many hours a man spends shaving every year.

The Oldies are chosen by Alec Lee from Winchcombe in Gloucestershire who rocks out with his choices of Golden Earring, The Damned and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
