Paul Whitehouse is back as Grandad and David Harewood has published his first book.

Comedian Paul Whitehouse chats to Zoe about starring as Grandad in Only Fools and Horses The Musical and actor David Harewood has published his memoir, I Don't Belong Here.

Comedy giant Paul Whitehouse tells Zoe about returning to the stage as Grandad in Only Fools and Horses The Musical. The re-opening of the show will form part of this year's 40th anniversary celebrations of the legendary BBC sitcom, which first graced our screens on 8th September 1981 with the episode 'Big Brother' and it's been making millions of people laugh ever since. John Sullivan’s iconic and record-breaking television series has been turned into a critically acclaimed home-grown West End musical spectacular. With a script and original score by John’s son, Jim Sullivan and Paul Whitehouse, the musical reacquaints fans with Britain’s most loveable rogues, to experience the classic comedy brought to life once again through 20 ingenious and hilarious songs.

Actor and presenter David Harewood has published his first memoir, I Don't Belong Here, a deeply personal exploration of the duality of growing up both Black and British. David was born in Birmingham but his parents are originally from Barbados, moving to England in the 50s and 60s. He trained as an actor at London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and is best known for his roles in Homeland and Supergirl. His critically acclaimed BBC documentary Psychosis and Me received a BAFTA nomination for best documentary.

Along with Clare Runacres on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams 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 than you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a Pause For Thought from Laura Marks and listeners on the line as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!
