It's Red Nose Day on the Big Show. Steve and Tim chat to Lord John Prescott, former Deputy Prime Minister, as he discusses his Shipping Forecast debut on Radio 4 tomorrow; elderly lifestyle guru Barry from Watford tells the team how he's recently been working with troubled Hollywood star Charlie Sheen; and boyband of the moment - The Wanted - pop into the green room to talk about their charity single for Comic Relief.

There's also loads of special Comic Relief factoids for you and details of how people across the UK are raising money for this year's appeal.

Today's Oldies are chosen by Andrea Stone from Strathaven in Lanarkshire. Andrea's top tunes include tracks from The Foundations, 10cc and Dionne Warwick and Elton John.
