Vernon chats to his favourite Gladiator, Steel, ahead of this weekend's latest quarter-final.

Plus, Joanna Page chooses two more songs on her Tracks Of My Years. RADA-trained Joanna first started in costume dramas at the National Theatre, and early roles included the 1999 ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ1 adaptation of David Copperfield and the 2003 smash hit romantic comedy 'Love Actually'.

However Joanna really shot in to the limelight a few years later playing Stacey Shipman in the BAFTA-winning television series Gavin & Stacey, which ran for three series and several Christmas specials - with strong rumours of another one-off to come.

Other notable work incudes co-hosting with Melanie Sykes on the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ One consumer series Shop Well for Less, and being a regular panellist on Loose Women.

There'll also be more audio nuggets from the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Archive in Vernon's Vault; There's Record and Album Of The Week and two more contestants try their luck in the mid-morning music quiz, Ten To The Top.

Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you - email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you’d like to apply to take part in Ten To The Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk
