Jackie Collins and Celia Imrie starred in Sex and Step Polish

The super-glamorous Jackie Collins and award-winning star of stage and screen Celia Imrie were Graham's guests, plus in Grill Graham an ex's sex had us vexed.

The divine and glamorous Jackie Collins joined Graham this week to chat about her 28th novel 'Goddess of Vengeance' and made our host feel rather grubby in comparison. And he'd just about recovered when Celia Imrie brought a touch of 'Acorn Antiques' to proceedings and the studio began to crash in around them!

Confusion reigned on this week's first 'Grill Graham' dilemma when Mr Norton and Maria couldn't quite figure out whether Lori's best friend's ex was a man or a woman. We think he's a man, and the problem is that Lori has been invited to the wedding - would going be a betrayal of her friend?

This week's second problem should have been more straighforward, with Mavis seeking advice on how to get a friend to stop sending her chain emails. Ironic then, that our email system was down at this exact moment...

'I Can't Believe It's Not Better' this week came from Peter Riley in March (the place as opposed to the month he sent in the request) who inflicted Black Lace's 'Agadoo' on the nation. Why Peter, why?

'Tune with a Tale' was requested by Anne Heaven - we've had some great listener names this week! - who came on to explain the story behind Johnny Cash's 'One Piece at a Time' - it's all about illegally assembling a Cadillac apparently.

And not forgetting mojitos at Pittodrie, Graham's mum running the marathon (but not really) and why Jackie Collins made Graham feel grubby...
