Claudia Winkleman

Claudia hosts an all-'80s themed hour for 2DAY 2012, in which she plays all her favourite '80s records. Plus special live performances by '80s icons Nik Kershaw and Carol Decker.

Claudia hosts an all 80s themed hour and plays her all-time favourite records from this decade.

There will be a special live and acoustic performance by 80s icon Nik Kershaw of his hit single The Riddle, which reached number 3 in 1984, and Carol Decker of T'Pau performs a special version of her 80s hit China In Your Hand.

Claudia marshals Johnnie Walker and Jeremy Vine as they go head to head in battle in an attempt to find out which decade had the most poetic lyrics - the 70s or the 80s?

Plus The Bard of 2Day, performance poet Mark Niel, is spending all day at Radio 2, soaking up the atmosphere and watching and listening to all the 2Day conversations, performances and special events. He'll then compose a specially written poem about all he's taken in, which we'll hear at the end of Claudia's show.
