Christopher Eccleston and Andrea Corr talked strudels and sing-a-longs

The brilliant Christopher Eccleston, and beautiful singer and actress Andrea Corr joined Graham, and we had an I Can't Believe It's Not Better song that caused much confusion.

Graham and actor Christopher Eccleston traded memories of going to the same drama school, and discussed Chris' latest project, the seven-part conspiracy thriller 'The Shadow Line'. And Andrea Corr popped in to talk about her new album 'Lifelines', which features cover versions of some of her favourite songs. Graham had a favourite too, but couldn't remember the title...

'Grill Graham' this week attempted to solve Rachel's hen-do dilemma, where she's trying to get out for fiscal reasons, and help poor Alexandria who's fed up of just being a 'friend with benefits' to her ex.

'If' only Luke Considine in Aldeburgh hadn't decided to email in a song choice for 'I Can't Believe It's Not Better', then the nation would have been spared from hearing the Telly Savalas 'classic'... 'If' (see what we did there?).

And in 'Tune with a Tale' Mary Falconer told Graham about being a doctor's receptionist and writing letters to newspapers, and posed the question as to whether the motorbike featured in The Shangri-Las 1965 hit 'Leader of the Pack' was a Norton?
