Actor, director, and musician John Simm chooses another two songs on his 10-track journey in this week's Tracks Of My Years.

He is best known for playing Sam Tyler in Life on Mars, the Master in Doctor Who and most recently south-coast sleuth DS Roy Grace in 鈥淕race鈥� on ITV. In the late 90s, he played lead role of Danny Kavanagh in the hard-hitting Jimmy McGovern TV drama 鈥楾he Lakes鈥� .

Other TV credits include State of Play, Crime and Punishment, Exile, Prey, and Cracker. His film roles include Wonderland, Everyday, Boston Kickout, Human Traffic and 24 Hour Party People and has twice been nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actor.

Besides his love of acting , John was a founding member, songwriter and guitarist with the rock band Magic Alex, supporting Echo and the Bunnymen on two tours, as well as playing lead guitar on a few of Ian McCulloch's solo live shows.

He now returns as Detective Superintendent Roy Grace in ITV鈥檚 Grace, based on the best-selling novels by author Peter James. On top of that, John is also starring in a brand new drama called I, Jack Wright, airing late April on U&Alibi.

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