Plus we'll hear from members of The Exeter Musical Society about their forthcoming production and Tom Hiscock will be back to update us on his story; the quintuplet from Plymouth was born 10 weeks premature and has Cerebral Palsy - but that hasn't stopped him from raising money for others with the condition.
And Paul will be taking a look at the latest film releases in Moxham's Movies.
