Peter Kay, Micky Flanagan, Shlomo and Linda Barker

Steve is joined by Tim and Janey as they chat to beat-boxer Shlomo, comedian Micky Flanagan and interior designer Linda Barker. Plus the Factoids, Talkie bits and loads of music.

Steve, Tim Smith and Janey Lee Grace bring you a packed midweek Big Show. The team chat to human beatboxer Shlomo who demonstrates his incredible talent, East End comedian Micky Flanagan reveals his love of Thomas the Tank Engine, interior designer Linda Barker chats about why wallpaper's suddenly back in fashion and Peter Kay helps launch our Comic Relief Factoids download.

In the fascinating Factoids, the team discuss the size of the average British woman's bottom and which famous faces turned down the role of Dirty Harry before Clint Eastwood made it his own.

The topical Talkie bits see Steve and the team chat about the latest Charlie Sheen shenanigans and why most people would prefer a bowl of chocolate mousse rather than sex.

The Oldies are chosen by David Lewis from Buxton in Derbyshire who picks some stonkers from Bon Jovi and Simon & Garfunkel.
