Steve and Tim chat to comedian Richard Herring and Hollywood superstar Russell Crowe.

Steve and Tim chat to comedian Richard Herring and Hollywood superstar Russell Crowe. Plus there's half an hour of Non-Stop Oldies and more Factoids and Talkies.

Steve and Tim Smith chat to comedian and 6Music presenter Richard Herring about why he's trying to bring the Hitler moustache back into fashion, while Tim heads off to a posh London hotel to grill Hollywood superstar Russell Crowe on how he managed to squeeze into the leather waistcoast and tights for his latest film 'Robin Hood'. 

Plus there's more brain-busting Factoids for you to muse including: the best time of the day to see a rainbow, where on a dolphin's body you could find its rostrum (if you were so inclined to do so) and how many baths you could fill using one second's worth of the water that crashes over Niagara Falls. 

The Oldies are chosen by Bob Cushing from Gorleston on Sea in Norfolk who delights us with classics from Rod Stewart, Mark Morrison and The Starland Vocal Band. 

Shelley Von Strunckel provides the weekly look at the stars in the Astrology.

Plus there's all the latest lifestyle and entertainment headlines and top notch Talkie bits including why human hair is being used in the fight against the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and which aging rocker has been voted the 'ugliest face in showbiz'.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
