Featuring legendary guitarist Hank Marvin

Drivetime welcomes the legendary guitarist Hank Marvin, who is best known from his work with hugely successful instrumental band The Shadows. Plus, Sally has the travel news.

Drivetime welcomed legendary guitarist Hank Marvin who's best known for his work with the pioneering instrumental band The Shadows. The Shadows' monumental chart debut with Apache in 1960 started an incredible run of 13 UK Top 10 hits for the group in just 4 years, during which time their unmistakeable style became a household sound around the world. Rebecca spoke to Professor Ian Brown of the Cyber Security Centre, Oxford Internet Institute about how people can protect their computers from a virulent cyber attack. Plus James Buckman of Skyscanner talked about Britain's first driving school teaching people how to drive on the right hand side of the road. Meanwhile Matt had the latest sports news and he interviewed former England captain Alan Shearer about how the England squad will cope with the heat and humidity of Brazil. There was another listener confession, this time involving a schoolboy prank with several blue toilet disinfectant blocks. The 1720 guest Peter Bond of British Bins revealed more about the hi-tec world of the Wheelie Bin and Tony Powell, a member of the Institute of Horticulture explained what makes a plant a weed. And Sally had the latest travel news.
