We hear special archive audio from Roald Dahl, and what's it like to be a harbour master?

Chris has a previously unreleased recording of Roald Dahl in conversation with his great-niece Emma. Martin Willis tells us about his great job of harbour master in Blyth.

Chris celebrates Roald Dahl day with a previously unreleased recording of the author in conversation with his great-niece Emma Pearl, which she recorded on cassette when she was 10 years old. Chris calls Emma to find out how she discovered her "most prized possession" in the back of her drawer. We hear your Top Tenuous claims to the fame of Roald Dahl. Martin Willis tells us about his great job of Harbour Master in Blyth, overseeing the boats coming and going in the port. After the windy weather, you tell us what's blown into your garden from space hoppers to greenhouses. Vassos catches up with British Dressage rider Charlotte Dujardin in the Sports Locker and Jahnavi Harrison provides the daily Pause for Thought.
