Zoe Ball chats to BAFTA award winning actor Tom Holland about his new film Uncharted. The movie is based on the video game series of the same name developed by Naughty Dog, and follows Tom's character Nathan Drake, and his mentor Victor Sullivan played by Mark Wahlberg as they embark on a dangerous quest to find the greatest treasure never found while also tracking clues that may lead to Nate's long-lost brother. Tom Holland is of course known across the world for playing Spiderman in the Marvel universe, since joining the franchise in 2016 he has appeared in 5 separate marvel films which includes his most recent movie Spider-Man: No Way Home released in 2021.

Plus Richie Anderson gives us the travel all the way from Glasgow as he helps Edna Clayton celebrate her 101st birthday at Hector House Care Home.

And Zoe plays three disco classics from her personal collection in the Disco Ball at 8.30!

Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

My brother Anthony turned 60 this weekend – a milestone birthday! He’s almost a decade older than me, so in most of my memories of him before he left home, I’m very small. As a child, he was the only one in our house who could drive and so he would drive me to school. He’d often get in super late from work – 2 or 3am, as that was what his job required at the time… But I’d wake him up at the crack of dawn with a cup of tea, “Anthony – I’ve made you tea”. He’d struggle to wake, and so I would make him another, “Anthony – I’ve made you another cup of tea.” Before I would beseech him, “Anthony, please wake up! I’m going to be laaaaate!”And he’d dive out of bed, and get me to school!

When our Mum had a suspected heart attack aged just 40, he was about 17, and I was about 8. I was small and scared! And there were no adults around. He took charge. I can remember that he made me possibly the worst porridge I’ve ever eaten. You could stand your spoon up in it. I think I did! I ate it without a single complaint. He then took me to school – right into my classroom. And there he stood – a 17 year old, talking to my primary school teacher explaining what had happened. I can still see him. And I still feel pride. When I think of it now – he was so young, yet he was so responsible. He didn’t have to be.

At just 17, he could have easily, and quite fairly, thought it was someone else’s responsibility. But he always stepped up. And because of that, a day well over 40 years ago is sealed so vividly in my mind. A little girl felt safer, because a teenager cared enough to act. Our actions DO make a difference. Islam teaches that sometimes it’s the smallest of deeds that matter the most. And I think it’s worth remembering that when we may doubt ourselves that the action is too small, or if we think it’s not our responsibility. It may have been the worst porridge ever, but it was also the best porridge ever. So to all those who step up, and care, huge respect. Thanks Big Brother, and Happy 60th Birthday.
