Sir Billy Connolly and Sir Tom Jones chat to Zoe. Plus Timothée and Zendaya talk Dune.

Sir Billy Connolly chats to Zoe about his autobiography, Windswept & Interesting. Sir Tom Jones shares his new single plus Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya on their new film, Dune.

Sir Billy Connolly chats to Zoe about his first full-length memoir, Windswept & Interesting. Born in a tenement flat in Glasgow in 1942, orphaned by the age of 4, and a survivor of appalling abuse at the hands of his own family, Billy's life is a remarkable story of success against all the odds. Windswept and Interesting is Billy's story in his own words, stuffed full of hard-earned wisdom as well as countless digressions on fishing, farting and the joys of dancing naked.

Sir Tom Jones shares his new single, Not Dark Yet. Not Dark Yet is a song by Bob Dylan, recorded in January 1997 and released as the seventh track on his album, Time Out of Mind. This is the first of two new tracks that feature on Tom’s extended version of his album, Surrounded By Time.  Tom is a huge fan of Bob Dylan, though he wasn’t impressed by Bob’s music when he first heard it in the mid-1960s. But then he heard Blowin’ in the Wind and he’s been a fan ever since.

And Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya discuss starring in the epic science fiction film, Dune, directed by Denis Villeneuve. Timothée's breakthrough came in 2017 with his role as Elio Perlman in the coming-of-age romantic drama Call Me by Your Name, which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor; at 22 years old, it made him the third-youngest nominee in the category. Zendaya's performance as a struggling, drug addict teenager in the HBO drama series, Euphoria, made her the youngest recipient of the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Her film roles include The Greatest Showman and the superhero film Spider-Man: Homecoming and its sequels.

Along with Adam Porter 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 Jahnavi Harrison and listeners on the line as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!
