A feast of great music and chat with actor Charlotte Ritchie

Actor Charlotte Ritchie joins Mark and Stuart to share her 'First, Last and Everything' and chat about this year’s ‘Ghosts’ Christmas Special.

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

Today, actor Charlotte Ritchie joins Mark and Stuart to share her 'First, Last and Everything' - that’s the first record she owned, the most recent one she’s enjoyed and the record that means ‘everything’ to her.

Charlotte became a household name playing Barbara Hereward in BBC period drama ‘Call The Midwife’ in 2015. She has also played roles in ‘Doctor Who’, ‘Dead Pixels’, ‘Fresh Meat’, and was a contestant on Channel 4’s comedy game show Taskmaster.
She currently plays Alison Cooper in ‘Ghosts’ - a woman who, with her husband Mike, unexpectedly inherits Button House along with a host of troublesome ghosts from across the ages. Charlotte talks about the show’s Christmas Special, which will return to our screens this festive season.

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 8000 songs.

With a selection of music old and new to get the weekend started.
