We're back and joining us on this episode is the nation's favourite vet - Noel Fitzpatrick. Not content with being one of the world's most respected veterinary surgeons Noel is equally at home on a stage touring his one-man show, in front of the camera (he's played parts in The Bill, Casualty and is the star of the long-running Supervet series) or promoting his many books. His latest release is a children's book 'Over the Rainbow Bridge' which deals with the sadness a child feels when they lose their beloved family pet, and finding joy afterwards.

Finding joy is a theme Noel brings up several times in our conversation, which also touches on how comic books inspired his love of medicine, how Brian May came to teach Noel how to play guitar and why Noel went years without knowing what happened at the end of Rocky! It's a fascinating story, told by an exceptional man. From his midnight gym routine to how an ice-cream scoop inspired a hip replacement technique this is a gripping conversation. So grab a drink and join us.

Today we're joined by an esteemed actor whose extensive CV includes decades of celebrated films, award-winning TV shows and one of the most celebrated roles from the last few decades of British TV (no wonder people want him to be Prime Minister). It’s the charming Adrian Dunbar!

Adrian joined us for a chat just before the new season of 'Ridley', the incredible ITV drama for a chat about his near-five decade career that's seen him win plaudits across stage and screen. We also hear more about family life, how he likes to relax and enjoy himself - and a CRUCIAL update about the biggest show on British TV: Line of Duty. You don't want to miss it!

We're taking a summer break and will be back in the Autumn with more amazing guests! In the meantime, scroll down wherever you're listening to this right now to check out some of our other episodes. There's over 450 to choose from and they're all as enjoyable and relevant to listen to now as when they were first recorded. We'll see you soon!

Two women are about to make broadcasting history when they become the first female full time hosts of Match of the Day, the storied football highlights program on the BBC. And we just happened to speak to them at the start of this year, so now feels like a perfect time to revisit one of those amazing conversations with two sports broadcasting trailblazers. It's Kelly Cates!

We spoke recently to Kelly about her excitement — and nerves! — about taking on her biggest role yet and how she’s preparing for the challenge. Beyond the pitch, she also dives into family life and opens up about juggling a high-profile career with single motherhood and the realities of raising teenage daughters. Honestly, it's amazing how she fits this all into her life - what a woman!
