It's Houseworkers' Playtime this morning, as Chris soundtracks the morning chores that bore!

We enjoy the latest "best EVER" Kids for a Fanfare, as we hear about James Ellingford's fab family outing to Buckingham Palace, and Finlay Kilbride buddying up with nervous newbies at school.

Cosmologist Andrew Pontzen previews the British Science Festival in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and verifies Chris' recollection of the law of reflection.

And Chris loves the aura of today's Pause for Thoughter, the Rev Ruth Scott.
