BBC Radio 2 - Steve Wright in the Afternoon, Cherie Blair and Ed Byrne

Steve, Tim and Janey chat to former PM's wife Cherie Blair and Irish stand-up Ed Byrne.

Steve, Tim Smith and Janey Lee Grace chat to former PM's wife Cherie Blair and Irish stand-up Ed Byrne. Plus there's the Factoids, Talkies and the Non Stop Oldies.

On this afternoon's Big Show, Steve, along with Tim Smith and Janey Lee Grace, chat to former Prime Minister's wife Cherie Blair about her school experience and why that's led her to taking part in Jamie Oliver's new TV show Dream School. Steve and the team also chat to Irish stand up Ed Byrne about why he's embracing his inner geek on his latest tour. 

The team also try and out-trivia each other with more brain-busting Factoids including the rather disturbing fact that a pair of breeding rats could produce 1000 offspring in a year and the disgusting fact that you lose half a pint of sweat from your feet every day.

In the topical Talkie bits the team discuss the top ten turn offs for women and when is the best time to end an online auction.

The Oldies are chosen by Andy Hall from Bromsgrove in Worcestershire who selects some gems from Jimmy Nail and Huey Lewis.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
