BBC Radio 2 - Steve Wright in the Afternoon, 27/05/2010

Steve & Tim chat to gastronaut Giles Coren and author Bill Bryson.

Steve & Tim chat to gastronaut Giles Coren, author Bill Bryson and singer Tom Robinson plus more head-scratching Factoids, a tonne of toe-tapping tunes and the Non-Stop Oldies.

Steve & Tim chat to gastronaut Giles Coren about the things that make him really really angry - including motorcycles, barcodes and the revival of classic children's TV. The team also chat to author Bill Bryson about his new book which is a journey around his own home in Norfolk and singer and 6Music presenter Tom Robinson who's celebrating his 60th birthday with a special show and gig called 'Glad To Be Grey'. 

There are some choice Thursday factoids for you including news of a fish that can play both the glockenspiel and handbells, what animal outnumbers the Chinese and how often a German man changes his underpants.

Today's Oldies are chosen by self-employed builder David Carter who treats us to a lovely number from Nina Simone, an oldie but a goodie from Queen and an 80s power anthem from Kenny Loggins.

And in the world famous Talkie bits Tim and Steve discuss the best meats for BBQ season, the art of naked rambling and why mature female MPs walk while leaning forward.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
