What's in Vernon's Vault today?

BAFTA and Emmy-winning actor Timothy Spall - 'Auf Wiedershen, Pet', 'Harry Potter', Secrets & Lies' - picks his Tracks Of My Years. Plus another round of Ten to the Top!

BAFTA and Emmy-winning actor Timothy Spall continues on his Ten track journey in this week's Tracks Of My Years.

Timothy first emerged on the acting scene in several stage productions, including Royal Shakespeare Company shows 鈥楾he Merry Wives of Windsor鈥� and 鈥楾hree Sisters'. But he first gained national recognition after appearing as Barry Spencer Taylor in the ITV comedy-drama series 鈥楢uf Wiedersehen, Pet鈥�.

Since then, he鈥檚 starred in numerous films including 鈥楬amlet鈥�, 鈥楴icholas Nickleby鈥�, 鈥楾he Damned United鈥�, 鈥楧enial鈥�, and 鈥楾he Party鈥�, as well as playing Peter Pettigrew in the Harry Potter series.

He was BAFTA-nominated for his roles in Mike Leigh's 鈥楽ecrets & Lies鈥� and 鈥楾opsy-Turvy鈥�, and finally won last year for the TV drama 'The Sixth Commandment', a role which also bagged him an International Emmy.

Most recently Timothy reprised his role of Winston Churchill - which he'd played in 'The King's Speech' - for the VE Day Concert in London.

Plus there's the mid-morning music quiz Ten To The Top, a trip in to the 麻豆社 Archive with Vernon's Vault, and the Record and Album Of The Week.

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
