Sir Ian Rankin pops in!

Author Sir Ian Rankin is here, and Sara celebrates another listener in Signed, Sealed, Delivered.

It's Radio 2 Book Week and renowned crime writer Sir Ian Rankin is here to tell us about his new novel, and plenty more besides!

Plus, we'll be hearing from another famous voice reading a few lines from their favourite book.

But before that... are you ready for Surprise and Shine, to prove your devotion to the Breakfast Show?

Play along with Let’s Hear It For The Noise, where Sara baffles your brain with her mind-bending wall of sound - you need to be all ears! Each week, the person with the most points wins a pair of Sara Sox!

After 8 each morning, it’s the daily register of our younger listeners in Kids In A Car!

And at 9, we celebrate someone special in Signed, Sealed, Delivered.

Ellie Brennan’s on hand with traffic and travel updates and Matthew Carter’s got the news. Sara’s also bringing you the biggest stories from the worlds of entertainment and sport, as well as the headlines from your life! Plus, each morning a moment to Pause For Thought.

Get involved by emailing sara.cox@bbc.co.uk – and listen live weekdays from 6.30am!

To listen on most smart speakers, just say: "Ask BBC Sounds to play Sara Cox.”

Produced by BBC Audio for BBC Radio 2.
