Radio DJ Scott Mills joins Aasmah Mir and Richard Coles to talk about being a DJ and how he was the uncoolest kid in the playground. Recently Scott took part in Strictly Come Dancing where he was famously not very good.

Mike Farley tried his hand at acting and stand-up comedy before a friend spotted that he looked a bit like Henry VIII and got him involved in re-enactments - and the rest is history. Eleven years later he's appeared as Henry VIII in schools, TV ad campaigns and at corporate events.

Would you like to work with your dad? What if you were doing a job that required quite a bit of concentration - like flying a plane? Laura Eliot's dad had been a pilot before she was even born. She took up flying after university. One day she logged onto her rota and noticed that her co-pilot on a flight to Tenerife was none other than her dad.

Charles Hill, formerly of the Met's specialist art and antiques squad, works now as a freelance sleuth, recovering stolen art - including one of the very few Vermeers in existence - and advising collectors on how to keep their collections intact.

You may have noticed that we're quite nosey. We don't just want you to listen to Saturday Live - we want to know what you do with the rest of your Saturdays. We know that some of you are members of running clubs, some of you knit, sing, go to football matches - but what about learning a language? Brighton might not be the most obvious place to find a Welsh language class but there is one - and as it's St David's day tomorrow, we sent Pete Ross to find out why. Clun glun Hwre!

Patrick Grant Savile Row designer and presenter of The Great British Sewing Bee, shares his Inheritance Tracks. He inherited Rolling Stones' 'Sympathy for The Devil' and is passing on 'Packt Like Sardines In A Crushed Tin Box' by Radiohead
