BBC Radio 2 - The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show, Peter Capaldi, Zoë Wanamaker and Sir Tom Jones

Peter Capaldi & Zoë Wanamaker are on the show and and Sir Tom Jones has live music.

Peter Capaldi and Zoë Wanamaker tell Zoe about their latest acting roles, where they join a rotating cast. Plus Sir Tom Jones has live music recorded at home.

Peter Capaldi and Zoë Wanamaker talk to Zoe about their new roles in Constellations at the Vaudeville Theatre in London.  The Donmar Warehouse Artistic Director Michael Longhurst will revive his acclaimed Royal Court, West End and Broadway production of Nick Payne’s play which will run across the summer. In an innovative producing model, devised in response to the pandemic, four brand new casts will take turns to journey through the multiverse exploring the infinite possibilities of a relationship; each refracting the play afresh. Peter Capaldi played the Twelfth doctor in Doctor Who, and ferocious spin doctor Malcolm Tucker in four series of The Thick of It (for which he won a BAFTA) and film spin off In the Loop. Zoë Wanamaker CBE has worked extensively on stage and screen. A nine-time Olivier Award nominee, she won for Once in a Lifetime and Electra. She has also received four Tony Award nominations for her work on Broadway; for Piaf, Loot, Electra, and Awake and Sing!.

Sir Tom Jones has live music for Zoe and chats to Zoe about his brand new album Surrounded By Time. Having begun working with producer Ethan Johns on 2010’s much admired Praise & Blame, the  partnership has continued over the subsequent decade and become  his longest musical collaboration. Surrounded In Time reflects that relationship and has produced Tom’s  most personal collection of songs to date - delving deep into his youth  as well as the  more recent past, producing an intimate body of work with a still-relevant  narrative as it  traverses  an ever-changing musical landscape.

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, quizzes, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners, and more music that you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a daily Pause For Thought with Rev Richard Coles and listeners on the line, as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
