Chris Evans, Cee-Lo Green, Len Goodman and Barry from Watford

Steve chats to broadcaster Chris Evans, singer Cee-Lo Green & Strictly's Len Goodman. The team also bring you three hours of music, more amazing Factoids and top notch Talkies.

It's halfway through the week and it's a jam packed Big Show. Steve, Tim and Janey chat to broadcaster Chris Evans about why his second autobiography proved much harder than his first, Strictly's Len Goodman talks about his very own Radio 2 documentary series examining some of his favourite dancing stars, singer Cee Lo Green reveals his varied musical influences and Barry from Watford battles the Wednesday traffic to share his thoughts about Xmas and The Apprentice.

In the Talkie bits - Steve and the team discuss the craze for old fashioned tea cups and teapots being caused by Lady Gaga and how teenagers falling victim to excessive texting have more to worry about than a sore thumb.

In this afternoon's fascinating Factoids discover which European country can lay claim to having the most islands in the world and which iconic advertising figure Robert Downey Jr has signed up to voice.

Today's Oldies are chosen by Gerald Stanley from Burnham On Sea in Somerset and he treats us to a classic from The Stranglers, an 80s gem from Adam Ant and some Jimi Hendrix.
