Sue Perkins and Lee Mack are both on the show to talk about upcoming TV shows!

Sue chats The Greatest Snowman, Lee tells us all about the Not Going Out Christmas Special (Panto) and Carol Kirkwood gives us the latest Christmas weather forecast.

Sue Perkins is hosting 'The Greatest Snowman', a special one-off programme following a group of celebrities in an epic snow building competition. Sue is a presenter, actor, broadcaster and comedian often seen alongside her comedy partner Mel Giedroyc (Mel and Sue). She's racked up quite the credits on her CV including, perhaps most notably, 'The Great British Bake Off' (2010–2016) and 'Insert Name Here' (2016–2019), plus the BBC Radio 4 series 'Just a Minute'.

Lee Mack's sitcom 'Not Going Out' first aired on BBC One back in 2006, and since then has aired 11 seasons. On the 23rd December, the show will return for a Christmas special and in it they're off to a Panto land. Lee is a beloved comedian, often seen cracking jokes on comedy panel shows. His most notable screen credits include: '8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown', 'QI', 'Have I Got News for You', and of course, being a team captain on 'Would I Lie to You?'. He's also toured the UK with stand-up routines, most recently in 2014 with 'Hit The Road Mack'.

Actual Santa is on the show to talk to some of our younger listeners to find out what they want for Christmas.

Plus BBC Presenter Carol Kirkwood has the latest weather report for over the Christmas period.

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.

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