Today, TV writer and producer Russell T Davies joins Mark and Stuart to share his 'First, Last and Everything' - that’s the first record he owned, the most recent one he’s enjoyed and the record that means ‘everything’ to him.

He also talks about his new 3-part drama 'Nolly' which stars Helena Bonham Carter, all about the rise and fall of real life Crossroads star Noele Gordon.

Russell T Davies started his TV career working on the Children's programme Why Don't You?, and has gone on to write for Doctor Who, as well as hit dramas It's A Sin, Years and Years, Queer As Folk and A Very English Scandal. He shares his thoughts on Crossroads, the music he listens to whilst he is writing and his love of the band Sparks.

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.
