This is Steve Allen's A Little Bit Extra, leading Britain's conversation. You're listening to our podcast of Steve Allen.

Morning, everybody. Welcome along to your free podcast for today, Tuesday, April the 12th. And they're still talking about that Beckham Blumming wedding. Even we have it as our top story.
