Benedict Cumberbatch chats to Zoe about his new film, The Courier.

Bafta, Emmy and Olivier award-wining actor Benedict Cumberbatch tells Zoe about his new film, The Courier. Plus Zoe keeps the tunes rolling on Maximum Music Monday.

Benedict Cumberbatch, BAFTA, Emmy and Olivier award-wining actor, tells Zoe about his new film, The Courier. The Courier is a true-life spy thriller, the story of an unassuming British businessman Greville Wynne recruited into one of the greatest international conflicts in history. At the behest of the UK's MI-6 and a CIA operative, he forms a covert, dangerous partnership with Soviet officer Oleg Penkovsky in an effort to provide crucial intelligence needed to prevent a nuclear confrontation and defuse the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Christina Harrison, Director of Children’s Services at Rotherham, Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust, gives Zoe an update from the site of the winning garden for Radio 2's Big Bee Challenge.

And Zoe plays three disco classics from her personal collection in the Disco Ball at 8.30!

Along with Adam Porter on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Hugh Ferris on sport, Zoe 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 Pause For Thought from Steve Chalke and listeners on the line as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
