Cameron Mackintosh and Glee star Matthew Morrison

Steve, Tim and the Old Woman try and out-trivia each other with more brain-busting Factoids and chat to theatre impresario Cameron Mackintosh and Glee star Matthew Morrison.

It's the start of spring on the Big Show. On today's show, Steve, Tim and the Old Woman chat to Glee superstar Matthew Morrison who plays singing teacher Will Shuester on the hit US TV show, and theatrical mastermind Cameron Mackintosh. Astrologer Sarah Bartlett casts her eyes skyward to bring you all this week's news for your star sign.

The team try and out-trivia each other with more brain-busting Factoids including why warthogs forage for food on their knees, how many characters you'd need to memorise if you were learning Chinese and what cosmetic operation 300 Americans undergo every year.

In the ever topical Talkie bits, Steve and the team discuss new cars made from fruit, which nuts are the healthiest to snack on and who on the team has yet to return their Census form.

The Oldies are chosen by Kevin Pearson from Coventry who picks some of his all-time favourite tunes including tracks from Pulp, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and The Verve.
