Vernon's Final Show Before The Big 5-0!

Comedy icon Dawn French chooses her final two Tracks Of My Years all this week with Vernon. Plus there’s a final dive into Vernon's Vault and the week's final Ten To The Top

Actress, comedian, and writer Dawn French chooses her final two songs in this week’s Tracks Of My Years.

Dawn has appeared in a range of TV shows from The Comic Strip to Murder Most Horrid to Jam & Jerusalem, but is probably best known for writing and starring alongside her lifelong friend Jennifer Saunders in French and Saunders, and for playing Geraldine Granger in the The Vicar of Dibley.

Following on from her four Sunday Times bestselling novels, the non-fiction bestseller 'Me You: A Diary,' and a sold out 2022 one-woman show, Dawn is back with a brand new book.

Dawn's final choices come from Alison Moyet and Norah Jones.

There'll also be more audio nuggets from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Archive in Vernon's Vault; there's Record and Album Of The Week and 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
