BBC is releasing a covers album called Got It Covered this fall, and it will feature quite the guest list. High among them is Oscar winner Olivia Colman, who will be covering Portishead's 1994 classic "Glory Box."

Besides that, the charity effort will feature the likes of Helena Bonham-Carter and Himesh Patel for covers of massive decades-spanning hits. Yesterday star Patel will cover the Killers' "All These Things That I've Done" and Bonham-Carter will take on Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now."

Got It Covered doesn't arrive until November 1, but right now, you can hear Jodie Whittaker take on the Coldplay staple "Yellow" down below, though it appears to not be available here in Canada. The tracklist is also below.

Each record sold will count £1.50 toward the charity Children in Need.
