Dr Phil Hammond is joined by Milton Jones, Wilf Lunn and Rachel Johnson.

Dr Phil Hammond asks three guests to play tracks of their choice. He is joined by comedian Milton Jones, madcap inventor Wilf Lunn and editor of The Lady Rachel Johnson.

Comedian Milton Jones joins editor of 'The Lady' Rachel Johnson and Wilf Lunn - best known for his satirical inventions on Vision ON - to explain why they've brought a pop-punk record, a Californian country ballad and a Swedish harmonica epic to this week's show.

Milton makes public his desire to be Billy Idol. Rachel reveals what happened when her Sixties liberal dad caught her with a Mohican-wearing boyfriend and Wilf explains how he got sacked from his job as a projectionist - for not playing Larry Adler. And in one surreal episode, a guest muddles up a 'rubbery egg' with a well known lyric. It all makes for some bizarre conversation.

Hosted by Dr Phil Hammond.

The music choices are: 
Swedish Rhapsody by Larry Adler
Rebel Yell by Billy Idol
Me and Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin

Producer: Tamsin Hughes. A Testbed production for BBC Radio 4.
