David Essex
Extraordinary stories, unusual people and a sideways look at the world.
As he prepares to join the forthcoming Living Legends tour, David Essex tells us about his route from blue-eyed East End boy to star of stage, screen and soap via a barrage of screaming fans. The Living Legends tour begins in October.
Comedian Katherine Ryan joins the Saturday Live panel show ahead of her stand-up tour. She'll tell us how she's found her move from Canada to the UK has been good for her career and... her skin. Katherine's tour runs from September to March.
For Barney Shaw it's all about the attraction of olfaction. The former civil servant sniffs out the biology, psychology and history of our sense of smell. The Smell of Fresh Rain by Barney Shaw is published by Icon.
Following a horse riding accident Claire Lomas became paraplegic. She has since become a campaigner, fundraiser and completed the 2012 London Marathon in 17 days using a robotic suit.
Dianne Buswell is the Rev's partner for Strictly. She'll tell us about the challenges that lie ahead.
Plus, the Inheritance Tracks of guitar hero Wilko Johnson. He chooses Cathy's Clown by the Everly Brothers and Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan.
