Comedian Sarah Millican and Moneybox host Paul Lewis

Steve, Tim and Janey Radio 4's Moneybox host Paul Lewis and comedian Sarah Millican. The team also try and out-trivia each other with more brain-busting Factoids.

Steve, Tim Smith and Janey Lee Grace chat to Radio 4's Moneybox host Paul Lewis about the recent increase in VAT and your rights regarding flight refunds after the snowy weather. Also joining the team this afternoon is comedian Sarah Millican who reveals her demands for her forthcoming tour have increased from a mere bottle of water.

There are more brainbusting Factoids this afternoon including a very tricky thing to pronounce for Janey, how long a wire a 1oz piece of gold can make and discover quite how much chickens outnumber humans by.

In the tantalising Talkie bits, the team discuss why people who spend a long time glued to a computer or TV screen are more at risk of heart disease and the shocking news that cash machines are dirtier than public toilets.

Today's Oldies are chosen by David Anders from Nuneaton who chooses some smashers from The Beatles, Roger Daltrey and U2.
