	+ 12.45 Paul Burnett Fun at One is a regular spot featuring comedy classics. Although Paul has a lot of favourite comedy acts he prefers those that focus on situations that everybody can identify with. He explains, 'It's great when you can recognise that moment and remember the embarrassment when it actually happened to you. I like to look on the funny side of life, and if I was given the choice I would love to be a comedian. A good one of course'. Regular listeners will know that he is indeed humorous, and often produces various voices and impersonations triggered-off by record titles, but claims he doesn't have a repertoire. How did he first start? 'Going to 12 different schools I was always the new boy, and I soon learned that if I managed to do a good impersonation of the worst teacher I'd make friends - and save myself from being hit'

The Victor 6000 also has two mechanical arms which can carry out extremely delicate manoeuvres such as cutting or removing debris. (BBC)

* Later in the day the US Coastguard confirms the finding of debris of the Titan submersible near the wreckage of the Titanic, and which is consistent with a "catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber". All five people on board are then confirmed dead following the loss of the submersible.[1] Safety measures onboard the OceanGate craft had been under intense scrutiny since the Titan sub went missing.
