Jason Donovan and Shappi Khorsandi

Steve, Tim Smith and Janey Lee Grace return with more head-scratching Factoids, '80s heartthrob Jason Donovan and comedian Shappi Khorsandi, and loads of great music.

Steve, Tim Smith and Janey Lee Grace try and out-trivia each other with more brain-busting Factoids including why and when false eyelashes were invented and how far the Nile would stretch if it was straight.

The team chat to '80s heartthrob Jason Donovan about his latest musical role in The Sound of Music and his upcoming appearance in an all 80s comeback series of gigs. Steve and the team also chat to comedian Shappi Khorsandi about why she wants to shake off her Iranian roots and instead reinvent herself a childhood growing up in southern Norway.

The show is, as usual, packed with three hours of toe-tapping tunes including thirty minutes of classic Non-Stop Oldies, today chosen by Paul Moxon from West Heath in Birmingham who picks some of his all time favourite songs including tracks from Mike Oldfield, Shocking Blue and Mason Williams.

3 hours, 5 minutes
