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

Today they mark the 60th anniversary of The Beatles' album Rubber Soul, which was released in December 1965. They reflect on the album's musical impact and influence and play a selection of their favourite tracks.

Also on the show... 'The Chain' - our world-famous list of over 8700 interconnected songs.

There’s also the chance to take part in ‘Tea Time Theme Time’, guessing the link between three top tunes.

With a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday.
