Ricky Gervais, the comedian, actor, writer, musician, producer, director and awards show host picks the Tracks of My Years with songs from The Beatles and Jimmy Webb. Ricky's career started to break into the mainstream when his TV show The Office, which he co-created with Stephen Merchant, captured the imagination of the UK TV audience. Although it had a slow start with low ratings it went on to be one of the most successful British comedy exports of all time, with various versions being made all over the world. Since then Ricky has gone on to create and star in hit shows Extras and Derek to huge critical acclaim. He's also hit the big screen with his character David Brent from The Office starring in his own film, Life on The Road. Other movies starring Ricky include The Invention of Lying, Muppets Most Wanted, Ghost Town and Special Correspondents. He's won numerous awards and toured the world with multiple stand up shows. His latest tour Humanity is going to be available on Netflix and the streaming service has already bought the rights to his next tour, which he hasn't even written yet.

Ken also has another round of the daily PopMaster music quiz, the record and album of the week and the daily love song. If you want to contact the show, just email - ken.bruce@bbc.co.uk.
