Steve Wright in the Afternoon - Richard Hammond & James May and Aled Jones

It's the last Big Show Monday of November and Steve, Tim and The Old Woman are wrapped up against the cold wintery weather. Joining them in the studio to keep the body heat up are singer and broadcaster Aled Jones, who's in to serenade us with some of his favourite Christmas carols. While Top Gear presenters Richard Hammond and James May pop in to discuss what they think the major issues will be for motoring in a post-apocalyptic world. This afternoon's Oldies are chosen by Heather Reid from Abernethy in Perthshire who picked some rather smashing tunes from David Bowie, Starland Vocal Band, Aqualung and Peter Gabriel. In the fascinating Factoids, The Old Woman reveals how her home town of Dagenham seems to have its own microclimate, what Hitchcock used as blood in his famous Psycho shower scene and why certain warm-blooded animals have shorter legs than others. The top notch Talkies today features news of a Susan Boyle musical, the latest evictees on Strictly, X Factor and I'm A Celeb and why you might find yourself getting 'hangry'.
