His latest venture sees him returning to police work in new true crime Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ drama Steeltown Murders, which has just begun its run on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ1. Based on a true story, the four part drama centres on the hunt to catch a killer in the Port Talbot area.

Philip's final two choices are from The Beatles and Pulp.

Plus there's this week's final edition of the mid-morning music quiz Ten To The Top, more audio gold in Vernon's Vault, and final pportunity to hear the Record and Album Of The Week.
