Tonight Parky is joined by three young Brits who have made it big in a very short time, actor Ewan McGregor, star of Dr Who Billie Piper and super chef Jamie Oliver.

First up on the show is the young chef who has used his fame and fortune to do the unexpected and the worthwhile. First Jamie Oliver started a restaurant staffed by disadvantaged kids, and now he's changing the way British kids eat at school. Jamie discusses his latest series Jamie's School Dinners.

Next up is a pop star who had two number one hits before she was 16. Billie Piper, now aged 22, has ditched pop music and stars as Dr Who's assistant Rose Tyler in the new series. Billie discusses her failed marriage to Chris Evans and how she deals with her fame and lifestyle. She also reveals how she hated her career as a pop star.

And finally, the Scottish boy who's made it big in Hollywood, Ewan McGregor. He has played everything from a junkie to a Jedi, from a song and dance man to a pigeon. He discusses his latest voice roles in the new film Valiant and Robots. He also discusses his role as Obi Wan Kenobi in the final Star Wars instalment.

Music comes from singer/songwriter and piano player Peter Cincotti, who performs St Louis Blues from his new album On The Moon.
