Today they are joined by actor Ralf Little 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 is also well-known for his starring roles in TV series 'Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps' and 'Death In Paradise.'

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.
