Music, chat and actor Simon Farnaby

Mark and Stuart present a feast of great music and chat, plus writer and actor Simon Farnaby shares his First, Last and Everything and chats about the new Ghosts film.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today, they are joined by actor, writer and comedian Simon Farnaby, who shares his First, Last and Everything - that’s his first record, the most recent one he's enjoyed and the record that means everything to him. Star and co-writer of BBC sketch series Horrible Histories and fantasy comedy TV series Ghosts, Simon was Bafta-nominated for his work as co-writer on films Paddington 2 and Wonka. As well as sharing some of his favourite music, Simon also chats to Mark and Stuart about Ghosts' forthcoming transfer to the big screen.

Also on the show, long-running feature The Chain, which gives listeners the chance to pick a track that links in some way to the last. The list now contains over 8,800 songs.

With a selection of music old and new to get the weekend started.

Produced in Salford by Audio Always for BBC Radio 6 Music.
