Gary Davies sits in

Vernon Kay

Available for 18 days

Gary Davies sits in with actress Lesley Sharp choosing her Tracks Of My Years - ten songs that tell the story of her life and career to date. And two listeners take on the mid-morning music quiz Ten To The Top. Born in Manchester and raised by adopted parents in Merseyside, Lesley wanted to be an actress from an early age. After studying at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, she landed her first on-screen role in Alan Clarke's 1986 comedy Rita, Sue and Bob Too. Since then, her roles on British TV have included Clocking Off (2000–2001), Bob & Rose (2001), Afterlife (2005–2006) and Scott & Bailey (2011-16). She was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for the 1997 film The Full Monty, playing Jean. She'll next be on our screens in the second series of acclaimed thriller Red Eye, playing Head of MI5 Madeline Delaney, available now on ITVX. Produced by BBC Audio for BBC Radio 2
