Comedian Lee Mack and magazine editor Mark Frith

Steve, Tim Smith and Janey Lee Grace are joined by journalist Mark Frith who looks ahead to 2011 and funnyman Lee Mack who's Not Going Out.

On this afternoon's Big Show, Steve, Tim and Janey are joined by funnyman Lee Mack who shares his favourite silly jokes from his co-star in Not Going Out - Tim Vine - and reveals the truth about panel shows. Also, editor of Time Out magazine Mark Frith looks ahead to the showbiz and entertainment we can look forward to in 2011.

In the fascinating Factoids this afternoon, discover what the fastest sea mammal in the world is, what Elvis Presley was obsessed with doing in bathroom and what the WD in WD-40 stands for.

The Talkie bits this afternoon involve Steve, Tim and Janey discussing what the sexiest piece of lingerie is and whether there's anything to trusting your gut instinct.

The Oldies are chosen by Tom Caffrey from Stourbridge in the West Midlands who delights us with some great choices from The Clash, Japan and Neil Diamond.
