CLAUDIA WINKLEMAN 10AM, RADIO 2 ★★★★
Graham Norton has decamped to Virgin Radio, where he’s delivering a classy music and chat show each Saturday and Sunday morning. His successor is the Strictly

WHY WHY WHY? 7.45PM, RADIO 4 ★★★★
Should I Stay Or Should I Go?
Are You Lonesome Tonight?
Will You Love Me Tomorrow? Pop music is littered with profound questions, but few answers. In this five-part series, Phill Jupitus calls on various experts to see if they can supply useful responses to some of music’s riddles. Tonight, Phill ponders the problem –
What Time Is Love? – posed by the anarchic 1980s electronic band The KLF. Phill gets Russell Foster, a professor of neuroscience who studies circadian rhythms, to come up with a helpful reply.

You Love Me.
