Des Buckingham, Christmas loneliness, ice skating & a spherical egg

Sophie hears your reaction as Des Buckingham is been sacked as Oxford United's manager.

Sophie hears your reaction as Des Buckingham is been sacked as Oxford United's manager.

A man who was sexually abused by a priest as a teenager has renewed his call for the Bishop of Oxford to resign.... he says he told the Bishop what happened but that it wasn't followed up.

Taking on loneliness at Christmas, hear how 100 older people were treated to a festive get-together with food, music and conversation in an Oxfordshire village.

Plus, are you getting your skates on this Christmas? Permanent ice rinks are on the decline in the UK... so how lucky are we to have one in Oxford?

And, it's the question you鈥檝e always asked yourself: how much money is a perfectly spherical egg worth? We'll find out this morning when I speak to an Oxfordshire charity that's just sold one at auction.
