BBC Radio 2 - Steve Wright in the Afternoon, Mark Ronson, Dave Gorman and Ian Wallace

Steve, Tim and the Old Woman meet Mark Ronson, Dave Gorman and dreams expert Ian Wallace.

Steve, Tim and the Old Woman chat to trendy musician Mark Ronson, funnyman Dave Gorman and dreams expert Ian Wallace. Plus much trivia with a stack of brain-busting Factoids.

It's a special day on the Big Show as the Old Woman celebrates her almost-birthday! And her special gift for her milestone? Steve and Tim serenade her. Marvellous.

As well as singing, Steve and Tim also exercise their vocal cords by chatting to uber-cool musician Mark Ronson about his new album, and funnyman and author Dave Gorman chats about the new series of his BBC2 inventions show 'Genius'. In a break from the usual astrology feature, dreams analyst Ian Wallace takes a look at some of the strange nocturnal memories of listeners. 

In today's fascinating Factoids, discover how to say 'moose' in Latin, which famous actors turned down the lead role in A Fistful of Dollars before Clint Eastwood got it, and what's the only mammal that can kneel on four knees.

In the top-notch Talkie bits, we learn why the wealthy won't stop working when they hit retirement, how much time men spend looking at women's breasts and how aliens have been secretly visiting Earth to deactivate the planet's nuclear weapons.

The team try to out-trivia each other with a stack of brain-busting Factoids, there's 30 minutes of classic Non-Stop Oldies, and the latest lifestyle and entertainment headlines and top-notch Talkie bits.

The Oldies are chosen by Nicole Marshall from Bacup in Lancashire who treats us to a classic from U2, a belter from Marillion and a foottapper from Gloria Gaynor.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
