BBC Radio 2 - Steve Wright in the Afternoon, Rolf Harris, Kate Kray and Tom Ravenscroft

Steve, Tim and Janey chat to Ronnie Kray's widow Kate and national treasure Rolf Harris.

Steve, Tim and Janey chat to Ronnie Kray's widow Kate and national treasure Rolf Harris. Plus, half an hour of classics in the Non-Stop Oldies and more fascinating Factoids.

In today's show Steve, Tim and Janey chat to Ronnie Kray's widow Kate about her first ever novel which has some very similiar parallels with her own life as a gangster's wife. The team also talk to national treasure Rolf Harris about his impressive life in art and his upcoming performance at Glastonbury despite a very sore throat. 

As if two top guests wasn't enough, our World Cup observer Rikus Badenhorst joins us from an English pub in Cape Town ahead of England's do or die match against Slovenia. And son of the late John Peel, and 6 Music DJ Tom Ravenscroft gives us a preview of this year's Glastonbury Festival.

We also spoil you with a plethora of World Cup factoids both on air and on our Twitter feed @bigshowfactoids - including the England player who holds the most caps and England's highest and lowest ever FIFA rankings.

Today's Oldies are chosen by Norman Drake from Market Drayton in Shropshire who treats us to the song from Cher that led to a deluge of vocoder-based tunes being released and a smashing little number from John Denver.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
