Is That Paul McCartney Calling the Studio?

BBC Radio 2 - The Chris Evans Breakfast Show, Is That Paul McCartney Calling the Studio?

Paul McCartney phones the studio ahead of his Radio 2 gig and we talk Bake Off!

Paul McCartney phones the studio ahead of his Radio 2 gig and, with England's footie success, Chris swots up on his Portuguese. Plus, there is a Bake Off Breaking News special.

Paul McCartney makes a gap in his day to phone the studio ahead of his Radio 2 gig - and we catch up with our competition winner, Guy, who's setting off for the BBC's Maida Vale Studios.

To celebrate England's footie success, we look ahead to the 2014 World Cup. Chris gets a lesson in genders, vowels and, more importantly, how to say "I don't understand!"

Following the Great British Bake Off semi-final, and news of its BBC One transfer, we share listeners' brilliant Baking News.

Today's Fanfare kid, little Ariana, gets fierce and mighty as she practises her haka. (Ringa pakia, Uma tiraha, Turi whatia, Hope whai ake...)

Tina Ritchie gets confused between Thor and a snail....eh?! And Rabbi Pete Tobias delivers today's Pause for Thought.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
