Logo for Steve Wright in the Afternoon - Terry Pratchett and Evan Davis

Steve and Tim chat to the host of Radio 4's Today programme and BBC's Dragon's Den - Evan Davis - who shares his unhealthy habit of looking himself up on Twitter. They also chat to bestselling author Terry Pratchett about the TV adaptation of one his recent Discworld novels. There are some fine Factoids too - including what's missing from every King of Hearts playing card, Jane Seymour's real name and how many service stations you could find by traversing all of the UK's motorways. In today's top-notch Talkie bits, Steve and Tim share some top tips on choosing an unguessable password, reveal the number one appliance likely to cause you harm in the home and they get a bit excited over the return of X Factor this weekend. This afternoon's Oldies are chosen by Nell Shaw from Little Dassett in Warwickshire, who gives us some stonking classics from Bryan Adams, Alice Cooper and John Lee Hooker.
