For April Fool's Day, we hear the classic 1957 Panorama report about spaghetti farming. Jarvis talks about the Teenage Cancer Trust gig he played last night, which has left him a bit sleepy; and the listeners are invited to suggest funny songs. Terry Jones reports on penguins migrating to the tropical sunshine. Actor, director and writer Kathy Burke drops in: she discusses the TV series she's written, Walking and Talking, a comedy drama about her memories of being 14 and passionate about punk. She also describes the time Morrissey followed her to the pub to ask her to be in his music video, and shares some songs that make her smile. Jarvis finishes with a surprising announcement. Birthdays: William Harvey, Milan Kundera, Ali MacGraw, Annie Nightingale, Sergei Rachmaninov, Carol White, Gil Scott Heron (on his early experiences of music) and Ronnie Lane (with the story behind the song Lazy Sunday).
