In today's even bigger Big Show, Steve and Tim venture onto social networking site Twitter with the show's new Factoid tweeting service 'bigshowfactoids'. Meanwhile, in today's regular Factoids, discover how many rooms there are in Buckingham Palace and why Queen Elizabeth I introduced a beard tax in 1558. Steve and Tim chew the fat with comedian and Cheryl Cole dance tribute act Rufus Hound, newsreader John Suchet talks about his struggle with his wife Bonnie's dementia and dream analyst Ian Wallace reveals what dreaming about tall buildings, houses and tornadoes means. Today's Oldies are chosen by UK based Aussies Helen and Peter Herd from Buckhaven in Fife - who treat us to a clarinet classic from Acker Bilk and a karaoke favourite from Frank Sinatra. In the top-notch Talkies, Steve and Tim discuss today's House of Commons vs House of Lords tug o' war and why Susan Boyle could soon be playing a dinnerlady in Glee.
