Matt Lucas and Tim Vine

Steve, Tim Smith and Janey Lee Grace try and out-trivia each other with more brain-busting Factoids and chat to comedian and actor Matt Lucas and punslinger Tim Vine.

On today's Big Show, Steve is joined by co-hosts Tim Smith and Janey Lee Grace. The team try and out-trivia each other with more brain-busting Factoids including some gems about how to spot the juiciest lemons and the biggest diamond ever found.

Steve, Janey and Tim are joined by Little Britain and Come Fly with Me star Matt Lucas who discusses his new Radio 2 comedy series And the Winner Is, and king of the one-liner Tim Vine stops by to reveal exactly why he's called 'the joke machine gun'.

Today's Oldies are chosen by Jayne Pryce from Chester who picks her all-time favourite tunes including tracks from The Jam, Human League and Culture Club.
