ISLA ST CLAIR
Martin called Isla to see what she's up to these days and to reminisce on when she and larry Grayson used to pull in up to 20 million viewers on saturday nights for tv classic "The Generation Game"
BIG BROTHER 2000! Love it or hate it, it's difficult to totally avoid it! Big Brother 9 is with us again. Martin recently spoke to original Big Brother winner Craig Phillips to see if he thinks it's still worth watching and how things have changed with this tv phenomenon since it began back in the year 2000.
ANNE BEGG MP
Recently, Anne Begg, Labour MP for Aberdeen South took part in Martin's "Are You Smarter" quiz. What you didn't hear was the chat about life as an MP, Westminster traditions, how tough a time Gordon Brown is having, and more.....
MARTIN & A GAMESHOW GOD!!! ITV are currently screening the latest in a long line of tv gameshow comebacks, this time its good old "Mr & Mrs"! And on Sunday Martin spoke to the man who will be forever linked with the show in it's heyday - Sir Derek Batey. Well - he's not a sir.....but he should be!
Derek Batey, from the gameshow old skool presented "Mr & Mrs" for an incredible 21 years from 1967 to 1988. It's seen several revivals since, but if you're of the belief that the original is always the best (of course it is...) this will always remain the definitive version.
Martin spoke with Paul, otherwise known as "The Cat", who runs a website that's a must for all pop fans in Scotland. The website is called Jock'n'Roll, and Paul's a bit of a dab hand at tv quiz shows having appeared in loads of them. In fact that's how martin found out about the website after his recent appearance on BBC2's "Brainbox Challenge" the other week. Have a listen to this part of Martin's chat with the cat!
MARTIN MET NEWTON FAULKNER
He's had an incredible year, a massive selling album with "Hand Built By Robots", he's a genius on the guitar and on Wednesday played to a capacity crowd at the Music Hall, as part of his sell-out tour. Martin caught up with Newton back stage and found out his feelings on playing live, visiting Aberdeen and they compared guitar-fingers!
THE SOUND OF... Martin was joined on the phone for a chat by local lass Amy Lennox, who's doing rather nicely for herself on the stage of London's Palladium Theatre, no less! She's appearing as Liesl in "The Sound Of Music"! (Yes, the one with Connie Fisher!).
Grange Hill's most notorious pupil - Zammo Maguire, AKA Lee MacDonald called up the show when Grange Hill got the chop.
Have a listen here, Lee's talking about being involved in that famous storyline that (kind of) made a pop star out of him.
