Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today, they hear from actor Richard E Grant who shares his ‘First, Last and Everything’ - that’s his first record, the record he's been enjoying most recently and the record that means ‘everything’ to him. He also discusses his latest film 'Savage House.'

Richard came to prominence in the 1980s with a starring role in cult film Withnail and I. As well as stage and TV productions including Dr Who and Game of Thrones, Richard has appeared in a range of films over his career including Saltburn, Persuasion, Gosford Park and Can You Ever Forgive Me? for which he was nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar.

Also on the show... long-running feature ‘The Chain’, which gives listeners the chance to pick a track that links in some way to the last. The list now contains over 8,700 songs.

A selection of music old and new to get the weekend started, including tracks from The Cure, Aldous Harding, Justice, Angine De Poitrine, The 5th Dimension, Pale Saints, Peaches and more.
