Michelle chats to comedian Susan Calman, who is on tour for the first time in ten years.

TV critic Paul Whitelaw brings you the best new telly of the week, including W1A sequel Twenty Twenty Six, the new series from Dan Levy (of Schitt’s Creek fame), Big Mistakes, and Handmaid’s Tale spin-off The Testaments.

Today - inspired by Susan Calman's travel series - we'll be asking for your Grand Days Out! What's the best day out you've ever had?

And as always, Michelle will be providing the perfect soundtrack for your Thursday afternoon, with bops aplenty and another edition of the Rewind Quiz.
