Tom Waits is Guy's artist of the week, so there's lots of musical gems from him.

We charge a glass to the Beckapedia as she broadcasts her 500th edition and this week it's a tribute to her little brother.

On This Day provides us with archive clips from, or about, Sir Isaac Newton, Detectorists, the bikini and the harpsichord.

Plus Guy plays a tune that reveals the real birth of rock and roll and one showing where The Who got the inspiration for one of their songs.

All in all a darn good show this week.
