Gary Davies sits in and Jack Dee chooses Tracks Of My Years

Comedian Jack Dee picks the songs that sound tracked his life in this week's Tracks Of My Years. Plus the Album and Record Of The Week

Comedian Jack Dee chooses another two songs in this weeks Tracks Of My Years

Jack broke into comedy nearly four decades ago after trying out an open-mic gig after work, and his trademark dour humour has graced our TV screens and airwaves since the early 90s.

He regularly hosts β€˜Have I Got News For You’ and ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4’s I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue’, and his style of deadpan comedy is best illustrated by the title of his agony uncle book, β€˜What Is Your Problem?’

Jack’s also starred in two of his own sitcoms, Lead Balloon and Bad Move, and hosts a podcast called β€˜Oh My Dog!’, where he interviews well-known dog owners about their canine antics.

He’s on tour from November with a brand new show called β€˜Small World’, with the tour taking him across the country for over twelve months.

As well as mid-morning favourites Ten To The Top and the Record and Album Of The Week, expect a few surprises from Gary between 0930-1200.

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