All things Eurovision with Blue, Christopher Timothy on life after playing a TV vet and Jonathan Wilkes on the joy of musicals!
Man-band Blue revealed their desire for UK Eurovision Glory, Christopher Timothy talked about the stage play Haunting Julia and Jonathan Wilkes went all musical with Chicago.
In this week's show broadcast live from Dusseldorf, the host city for this year's Eurovision Song Contest, man-band Blue talked to Graham about their desire to restore Eurovision pride to the UK with their entry 'I Can' and the stiff competition they faced from Amaury Vassili of France and X-Factor favourites Jedward, representing Ireland.
Actor Christopher Timothy revealed that there is life after playing TV vet James Herriot in the long-running ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ series 'All Creatures Great and Small' . However his latest role in Alan Ayckbourn's play 'Haunting Julia' may not appeal to everyone since one theatre critic described the drama as being one of the scariest plays they'd seen - you've been warned! And former 'Cameron Mackintosh Young Entertainer of the Year' Jonathan Wilkes chatted about the joys of playing crooked lawyer Billy Flynn in the musical 'Chicago'. He also pondered on whether he was given that prestigious award not for his musical ability but because Cameron's mother took a shine to his on-stage charisma!
The nation once again offered its collective words of advice in 'Grill Graham' which this week debated the best way for Greta to uncover the truth about the stranger's wallet she discovered in the bedroom of her 14-year-old son. Listeners also gave wise words to Joan, who was considering having cosmetic surgery in order to improve her chances in the dating game. After all, once you've been under the knife - there's no going back.
And Stephen Brennan explained why he suggested 'The Lighthouse's Tale' by Nickel Creek for this week's 'Tune with a Tale' along with revealing his own Eurovision connection - a performer in a touring production of Riverdance, which was the hugely popular interval act featured in the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest from Dublin.
