Adam Sandler and Edith Bowman

Steve and Tim Smith bring you three hours of brain-busting Factoids and chat to radio DJ Edith Bowman and Hollywood actor Adam Sandler.

It's the last day of the Big Show for this week and Steve and Tim chat to TV and radio broadcaster Edith Bowman ahead of her stint on the red carpet at this Sunday's BAFTAs, and Hollywood movie star Adam Sandler speaks to Tim down the line from New York about his latest rom com with Jennifer Aniston.

There are more fascinating Factoids including how many miles dog walkers rack up with their pooches over their lifetimes, the longest recorded flight of a chicken and what a rabbit's favourite sweet is.

In the topical Talkie bits Steve and Tim discuss credit card charges, Lady Gaga's new single and Colin Firth's latest award for The King's Speech.

Today's Oldies are chosen by Vera Stephens from Saltash in Cornwall, who chooses classics from Van Morrison, Norman Greenbaum and Neil Diamond.
