GRAHAM NORTON
10AM, RADIO 2 HHHHH Graham Norton is back, full of bounce from his summer holiday, with a programme of music and guests. Lady Colin Campbell will be on the show to talk about her new book, Meghan And Harry: The Real Story. Lady Colin, who was brought up as a boy, has a track record of writing about the royals, though some of her revelations, particularly about The Queen Mother and Diana, Princess of Wales, are considered a tad unreliable.
NICHOLAS PARSONS: A MAN OF MANY PARTS
7PM, RADIO 4 HHHH

Graham Norton (10am, Radio 2) He got his reward for his good manners by living long enough to host many more years of the panel game, with guests who appreciated his wit and charm.

THE CRAIG CHARLES FUNK & SOUL SHOW
6PM, BBC 6 MUSIC HHHH BBC 6 Music has been celebrating National Album Day, and Craig does his bit by featuring Stevie Wonder’s Innervisions. It was released in 1973, has the talented Mr Wonder playing pretty much all the instruments on the album, and has always been a favourite of Craig’s.
MY MUSE
11.30PM, RADIO 4 HHHH Lynne Truss was the only girl in her class who liked Joni Mitchell’s hit Both Sides Now. The Canadian singer became an inspiration for Lynne’s books and plays and, as Lynne explains tonight, Joni’s reputation will one day eclipse even Rambling Bob’s. SUSAN JEFFREYS
