Actor Freddie Fox starred in TV drama Cucumber, has played Romeo, and is currently performing the parts of both Demetrius and Bottom in a madcap production of A Midsummer Night's dream. 

Rescued from Kolkata riverside by Mother Theresa, Gautam Lewis went on to carve a career in the music industry working with bands like The Libertines. He joins us on Saturday Live to tell us his extraordinary story.

Referee Mary Harmer is a football referee. She talks about her love of football, her path to becoming a referee and how volunteering helped her.

A jelly version of Buckingham Palace has popped up on social media this week, and Tim Simpson is the man responsible for this and other strange concoctions such as a lifesize chocolate Benedict Cumberbatch and a tweed suit for a horse. He'll tell us how and why.

JP meets record producer John Schroeder who worked with Status Quo, Cliff Richard and Helen Shapiro, and whose cat, Treasure, could predict a number one hit.

We have the inheritance tracks of hairdresser to the stars Nicky Clarke who chooses Starman by David Bowie and Beautiful Boy by John Lennon, and your thank yous.

Producer: Corinna Jones
Editor: Karen Dalziel.
