Best Of The Guests

Nick gets your Christmas Day going with festive tunes and another chance to hear his conversations with Kate Moss, Elton John, Little Simz, Bob Mortimer, Kate McKinnon and Goldie.

Nick welcomes you to Christmas Day with the finest music, and a chance to revisit some of the best interviews from the breakfast show this year.

He'll bring you highlights from a very special interview with Kate Moss about her friend and musical hero David Bowie, and there'll be a trip to Elton John's record library to talk about his favourite artists.

Goldie revisits his album Timeless as the record celebrates its thirtieth anniversary, and there's an in-depth chat with Little Simz at Maida Vale with some very special live session recordings.

Plus things get surreal with Bob Mortimer delving into a Very Specific Playlist on music to make an Italian sandwich to, and American comedian Kate McKinnon brings the laughs as you get the presents open.

There'll be some Christmas songs too (good ones).
