With Dermot O'Leary, Rory McGrath and astrologer Sara Delphi

Steve, Tim and the Old Woman are joined by Dermot O'Leary and Rory McGrath. Plus, more brain-busting Factoids and astrology with Sara Delphi.

Steve, Tim and the Old Woman chat to uber-presenter Dermot O'Leary ahead of this week's National Television Awards and tease a special international guest who'll be making an appearance at the event. The team also chat to 'man in a boat' Rory McGrath about his new series exploring the Lake District, and astrologer Sara Delphi looks skyward to delve into this week's zodiac.

In the fascinating Factoids, the Old Woman gives us some US military terminology and Tim tells us about a three-eyed lizard in New Zealand.

In the topical Talkie bits, the team discuss why you should sleep naked for a good night's kip and where in Europe you should head to for the best holiday bargains.

The Oldies are chosen by Ray Sewell from Newton Abbott in Devon who chooses some classics from Peter Sarstedt, Hurricane Smith and John Paul Young.
