BBC Radio 2 - Steve Wright in the Afternoon, Gilbert O'Sullivan, James Caan and Shelley Von Strunckel

The Old Woman returns plus Steve and Tim chat to James Caan and Gilbert O'Sullivan.

Steve, Tim and the Old Woman try and out-trivia each other with more brain-busting Factoids, plus guests 70s singer Gilbert O'Sullivan and ex-Dragon James Caan.

Steve, Tim and the Old Woman are joined by guests, 70s singing superstar Gilbert O'Sullivan chats about his career, while ex-Dragon James Caan shares the secrets behind how to get any job. The team are also joined by today's astrologer Shelley Von Strunckel.

In the fascinating Factoids this afternoon, discover where in the world you'd get a speeding ticket for driving too slowly, how long tarantulas can go without eating or drinking and which sea creature has a rectangular pupil.

The Talkie bits see the team discussing how hot mustard can burn off calories, some TV ideas for David Miliband and why Scandinavian food is set to be really popular in the UK this year.

The Oldies are chosen by Dave Bosher from London who treats us to some classics from Doris Day, Buddy Holly and The Carpenters.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
