What's in Vernon's Vault today?

Actor Robert Carlyle goes on a ten-song musical journey this week in Tracks of My Years. Plus, there's the music quiz Ten to the Top and Album of the Week.

Actor Robert Carlyle continues his musical journey in Tracks of My Years.

First coming to widespread attention with a memorable role in Cracker on ITV, Robert also lit up the small screen as the Highland policeman Hamish Macbeth, before two film roles in the mid-90s propelled him to superstardom.

Firstly, the part of Francis Begbie in Danny Boyle's Trainspotting brought widespread acclaim, and playing Gaz in The Full Monty helped land the film a Best Film Bafta.

Other notable film credits include The Beach, 28 Weeks Later and The World Is Not Enough, and he's continued to delight small screen fans with parts in Once Upon a Time, Stargate Universe and War of the Worlds.

Robert's latest TV project sees him return as Prime Minister Robert Sutherland in Cobra: Rebellion for Sky, where he stars alongside the likes of Victoria Hamilton, Jane Horrocks, David Haig and Marsha Thomason.

Plus, Vernon has the mid-morning music quiz Ten to the Top, a brand new Record and Album of the Week, and we go diving into the archives for Vernon's Vault.

Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you: email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you鈥檇 like to apply to take part in Ten to the Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk.
