Gary Barlow has live music recorded from home, Jenna Coleman tells Zoe about her latest role in a big BBC One drama and another Strictly Come Dancing couple chat ahead of the final

Gary Barlow chats to Zoe about his brand new album 'Music Played By Humans' and he's recorded exclusive live tracks from home. It's Gary’s first solo album since 2013’s double platinum-selling ‘Since I Saw You Last.’  It features collaborations with Michael Bublé, James Corden, Alesha Dixon, Barry Manilow, Chilly Gonzales and Beverley Knight. The album is an ode to the sounds of Gary’s childhood, the orchestral and big band music which captured his imagination and eventually led to this album of original compositions recorded with a full 80-piece orchestra. Gary is one of the UK's most successful singer-songwriters, writing numerous number one and top ten hits, he's also been awarded six Ivor Novello Awards.

Jenna Coleman tells Zoe about BBC One’s international crime drama The Serpent which will premiere on New Year’s Day at 9pm. Inspired by real events, The Serpent tells the remarkable story of how the conman and murderer Charles Sobhraj was brought to justice. Posing as a gem dealer, Sobhraj and his girlfriend Marie-Andrée Leclerc (played by Jenna Coleman) travelled across Thailand, Nepal and India in 1975 and 1976, carrying out a spree of crimes on the Asian ‘Hippie Trail’ and becoming the chief suspects in a series of murders of young Western travellers.  

Jamie Laing and Karen Hauer, one of the Strictly Come Dancing couples facing the final phone in to chat to Zoe as they look ahead to the weekend. The biggest show on TV is nearing the Grand Final as the four remaining couples dance live on Saturday night on BBC One to take home the legendary glitterball trophy. Last year professional dancer Oti Mabuse and actor Kelvin Fletcher were crowned champions of the series.

Along with Adam Porter on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, she and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests,  headlines, tunes chosen by listeners, and more music that you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a daily Pause For Thought with Reverend Richard Coles as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!
