Marianne Faithfull, David Jacobs and Camilla Kerslake

Steve chats to two very different singers, Marianne Faithfull and Camilla Kerslake, and DJ legend David Jacobs. There's also the Non Stop Oldies, the Factoids and the Talkies.

It's an unofficial 60s Day on the Big Show as Steve and Janey chat to broadcasting legend David Jacobs and pin up Marianne Faithfull. Bringing us bang up to date, Gary Barlow's operatic protege Camilla Kerslake comes in to talk about her new album.

In the fascinating Factoids, we discover why a pound cake is so named, where the word 'pixel' originates from and which foodstuff can lay claim to being the biggest organism in the world.

In the Talkies, Steve and Janey discuss the best time and day to start legal proceedings and the best time to visit Paris as well as last night's star-studded premiere of The Wizard of Oz musical.

This afternoon's 60s inspired Oldies have been chosen by Fred Avery from Chandlers Ford in Hampshire who gets us in the mood with gems from Jimi Hendrix, The Four Tops and Manfred Mann.
