Â鶹Éç

Greg James, host of the Radio 1 Breakfast Show and self-confessed 'proud radio nerd', rummages through the Â鶹Éç's treasure house of archives, using current stories and listener suggestions as a springboard into the vaults of audio, video, documents and photographs.

This week, following a request from a listener, Greg strikes archive gold with the Â鶹Éç's information campaign Decimal Five, complete with handy - and incredibly catchy - jingles to remind us how to convert old coins into new values.

As William Blatty's best-selling novel The Exorcist turns 50, Greg dusts off some very British hauntings, involving a carpenter, a choc ice and a ghost named Albert – and hears about a phantom furniture removal man.

Greg takes inspiration from Netflix film The Dig, starring Ralph Fiennes as archaeologist Basil Brown who excavated a Saxon burial ship at Sutton Hoo in one of the most spectacular archaeological discoveries of all time. He does some digging of his own, unearthing interviews with the real Basil Brown and other members of the Sutton Hoo team, plus he gets to practise his Suffolk accent.

And with Nina Simone becoming one of the most popular choices on Desert Island Discs in the past two years, we hear from the legend herself.
