Steve, Tim Smith and Janey Lee Grace chat to X-Factor winner Matt Cardle, Scottish comedian Kevin Bridges and American parody singer 'Weird Al' Yankovic.

They also try and out-trivia each other with a sleigh full of brain-busting Christmas Factoids including how many turkeys, jars of cranberry sauce and pints of beer we'll consume this festive season and what special postcode Father Christmas has in Canada.

In today's Talkie bits, the team look at the biggest topics that trended on social networking site Twitter in 2010 including vuvuzelas, the gulf oil spill, Harry Potter and Paul the Psychic Octopus. They also discuss Lady Gaga's possible move to becoming a professor of fashion.

The Oldies are chosen by Barbara Old from Newquay in Cornwall who delights the airwaves with tunes from Dusty Springfield, The Searchers, Billy Fury and The Fortunes.
