    Luke Evans

    Luke Evans says growing up in the South Wales valleys was tough at times. He was an only child in a family of Jehovah’s Witnesses, bullied at school both for his religion – and for being gay. But, that quiet boy from the valleys who tried to blend into the background is now a huge international star. He shot to fame on the West End stage in the early 2000s – with roles in Rent, Miss Saigon and Les Mis. Since then, he’s acted in Hollywood blockbusters like Beauty and the Beast, Fast & Furious Six and The Hobbit. Now in his mid-forties, Luke says he is happy, fulfilled and looking forward – so what songs has he chosen as his Inheritance Tracks. Inherited: Saturday Night at the Movies by The Drifters Passed on: The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack Producer: Ben Mitchell

    Ellie Taylor

    Ellie Taylor is a comedian, actor, writer, award winning podcaster, host of Bake Off the Professionals and a reluctant mother - according to her book. You’ll probably have caught her being clever and funny on any number of TV panel shows, here on Radio 4, and as Sassy Collins on Ted Lasso. She’s about to take part in a celebrity Gladiators special and is going out on tour after four years. We asked her to take a break from writing punchlines and share her Inheritance Tracks with us.

    Kate Humble

    Kate Humble has presented the majestic Animal Park from Longleat for more than two decades. As a champion of the environment and rural affairs, she’s been the president of the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust and founded Humble by Nature, a rural skills centre based at her farm here in Wales. But when she’s not frolicking in the fields or mucking out meerkats Kate unwinds at home, often in the kitchen, creating recipes for her latest book. I don’t know about you, but a bit of Beethoven always beats the boredom out of a bolognas...I wonder if Kate’s the same? Inherited: Suzanne by Leonard Cohen Passed on: Ain't got no / I got life by Nina Simone Producer: Ben Mitchell

    Peter Capaldi

    There’s so much more to the actor Peter Capaldi than his brilliant, edgy and original Twelfth Doctor in Doctor Who…his career stretches far beyond the Tardis.

A punk in his younger days…he’s now writing and recording his own rock music…his debut solo album was released in 2021…so we’re fascinated to hear what he’s chosen as his Inheritance Tracks.

    Adrian Chiles

    In his regular column Adrian Chiles has written candidly about everything from wearing compression socks to struggling to bend down - even his favourite coat hanger. These musings are now collected in a single book. He admits that his "orgy of oversharing" isn't for everyone, yet insists even life's most mundane details can hold deeper meaning. So, what meaning will we uncover in his musical tastes? Inherited Track: Reuben's Blues by Stan Kenton Pass On: Stop This World by Mose Allison Producer: Ben Mitchell

    Ian Rankin

    The best-selling crime-writer Sir Ian Rankin began his life surrounded by food. His dad ran a grocery store in Fife, his mum worked in a school canteen, and Ian's early writing saw him reviewing wine. He says he never intended to turn to crime, so to speak, but it was his creation of the hard-drinking and stubborn Edinburgh detective Inspector John Rebus which changed his writing style – and his life. Beginning with Knots and Crosses in 1987, there have now been 25 Rebus novels - as well as the tv dramas and stage plays – mainly dealing with Scotland’s dark and dangerous underworld. What then will he reveal as his Inheritenace Tracks? Inherited: Seven Drunken Nights by The Dubliners Pass on: Another Man's Rain by Jackie Leven Producers: Ben Mitchell and Noa Dowling
