Who's up for Ten To The Top?

Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor Gillian Anderson - The X-Files, The Crown, Sex Education - chooses her Tracks Of My Years. Plus more Ten To The Top.

Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor Gillian Anderson takes us on her 10 song journey in this week's Tracks Of My Years.

First coming to public attention in her Emmy-winning role in The X-Files, Gillian has thrown off the shackles of Dana Scully to become one of the world's most in-demand and acclaimed actors. Her versatility has seen her win praise for roles in the likes of The Fall, The Crown and Great Expectations, with her most recent accolades coming from playing Emily Maitlis in Scoop, and Jean Milburn in Sex Education.

Now Gillian's back on the big screen in the film adaptation of 'The Salt Path', a true story about a couple embarking on the 630-mile journey along the Southwest Coast Path.

Plus the mid-morning music quiz Ten To The Top, a trip in to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ 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’d like to apply to take part in Ten To The Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk

To listen on most smart speakers, just say "Ask ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds to play Vernon Kay."
