Firth first

Simon Mayo|08:37 UK time, Monday, 14 February 2011

To the criminals who went through my car last night a question. What's wrong with my cd collection? They rummaged through the coats, gym kit (unwashed) and cds and were so unimpressed they left everything. Eagles, Florence and the Machine and a Soft Cell compilation, all callously left behind. Dylan, Fats Domino and Sugarland still where I left them. Burglars with no taste.

Thank heavens.

Hope your weekend was all you wished for, I spent mine down a mine. Well, 2 hours of it, at the National Mining Museum in Wakefield. Rock 'n' roll indeed! It's a brilliant trip out, really educational and an eyeopener for anyone who has never been down a pit. Dave, aka Chewbacca, was our miner guide and a real Yorkshire gem. It's free and they do a mean chicken and pea pie.

Dame Jacqueline Wilson is our guest tonight, one of the UK's bestselling authors with 30 million copies sold. 30 million! Her latest is "Lily Alone", it'll doubtless be another hit and you can hear her after 6.

And on the oldies (you might have had enough of romantic tunes by 5) we celebrate COLIN FIRTH. Yes it's COLIN FIRTH tunes please, let FIRTHMANIA, unbridalled, fill our heaving bosom. And produce a good tune or two.

Have a warm-hearted and self-sufficient Monday, see after 5.
