    Alan Davies, Trainspotting the Musical, Life After a Ruptured Brain, and the Inheritance Tracks of Adrian Lester

    Today we’re in the company of three luminously talented people who’ve survived seriously dark periods to shine brightly in their fields. More than thirty years after Irvine Welsh’s debut novel caused a sensation, he tell us how Trainspotting The Musical was a natural next step. Alan Davies’ career has been going strong for more than thirty years too. There's a lot going on in his new memoir - the story of his stand-up comedy told in the context of the trauma he went through as a child, and his cancer treatment in middle age. And Clemency Burton Hill was an accomplished classical musician, writer and broadcaster when a catastrophic brain haemorrhage almost robbed her of everything. Also, thanks are given to a couple of coppers who were on hand when a listener’s homecoming from holiday went badly wrong. And we have the Inheritance Tracks of the actor Adrian Lester.

We have the Booker Prize Winning Author and poet Ben Okri, he is a giant amongst writers, a master storyteller with a fascinating life story of his own to tell. And Chris Terill has more than 200 documentaries under his belt, awards galore, and a long career worthy of a documentary in its own right.

Sharon Ring worked on Fleet Street in newspapers and magazines for more than three decades before finding the full story of her mother and uncle’s childhood in Nazi Germany.

    Victoria Pendleton, Training Dragons and the Science of Stars, plus the Inheritance Tracks of Russell T Davies

    Adrian Chiles is joined by three hugely successful guests - all shining stars in their fields. Victoria Pendleton won it all as a track cyclist, a quite astounding athlete who dug so deep, physically and mentally, in her career, and also in navigating her life after cycling. Cressida Cowell is the writer and illustrator behind - amongst other things - the incredibly successful How to Train your Dragon series. So we have a sports star, and a star author, and in Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell we have someone whose work enabled the discovery of a new kind of star, a discovery which changed astronomy forever.

    Tom Fletcher, Russell Kane, Poetry in Nature, and the Inheritance Tracks of Katie Razzall

    Adrian Chiles with a pop star, a comedian and a writer, but there’s a lot more to each of them than that. Tom Fletcher was starring on the West End stage at the age of 10. 30 years later he’s been back there writing the music for Paddington - The Musical. In between he’s squeezed in popstardom with the hugely successful band McFly. Bethany Handley grew up loving life in the great outdoors of Monmouthshire and she has written a memoir, My Body is a Meadow: Finding Freedom in the Outdoors. And with Russell Kane there’s an awful lot going on. Terrifyingly clever, award-winning comedian, writer, children's book author and now Shakespearean actor.
