Arty Facts
Arty Facts with Master J is a show about working in the arts. Today, Master J is joined by actor, comedian and television presenter Ross Lee, whose career has spanned everything from getting gunged on Noel’s House Party and hosting children’s TV to starring in prank shows, working with Keith Lemon, and landing a role in a major Hollywood film. We attempt to work out how all of that happened, beginning with a naked weather forecast from Ross's bath which resulted in Richard Whiteley being covered in pink gunge on live television. Along the way we'll hear what it was really like making hidden-camera comedy, why he walked away from the hit show Balls of Steel, whether prank television is worth getting arrested for, and how close he came to becoming famous for entirely the wrong reasons. Expect stories from behind the scenes, show business gossip and questionable career decisions. For more information visit Master J on Facebook. [Repeats Friday 3.30pm.]

Calling All Pensioners
[Repeated from Monday 1pm.] Magazine programme with Tim Hamilton, addressing issues which affect pensioners across London. This week: Age UK shares their campaign calling for reforming social care – for too long it has been underfunded, understaffed and undervalued, with older people and their families often left to struggle without the care they need. Independent Age’s campaigner, Emma, calls for you to build on your recent feedback, in getting you to tell them about the impact of receiving key social security entitlements. Plus, we hear how local Age UK branches, like Age UK Waltham Forest offer programmes of exercise classes to help participants to feel better and move more for a better later life. Our musical tribute is to Bill Oddie who was an English comedian, writer, television presenter and conservationist, and best known as a member of the 1970s’ zany comedy show, The Goodies. Produced by Deptford Action Group for the Elderly.
