Chris Difford
Aasmah Mir and the Rev. Richard Coles are joined by the lyricist and musician Chris Difford who, along with Glenn Tilbrook, co-founded Squeeze - with hits such as 'Cool For Cats' and 'Up The Junction'. He talks about his life from early years in south London to playing Madison Square Garden, battling addiction and receiving two Ivor Novello Awards.
Dr. Rachel Clarke describes the atmosphere on the hospital ward during the festive season, and the humanity shown by patients and staff alike.
Anna Bailey meets Brendan O'Carroll aka Mrs Brown, one of the most popular sitcom characters on our screens today, to find out about the man behind the cardigan and the curlers.
Gwenda Gofton recalls her varied Christmases as an evacuee during the war, working as nurse where she turned the ward into a jungle/rainforest, to life as a vicar's wife and opening her doors to strangers.
John Lloyd is the creator and founding producer of The News Quiz, Spitting Image, Not the Nine O'Clock News, Blackadder & QI - billed as "the world's most impossible quiz". He provides obscure facts and explains why what we think we know, may be only partially true.
Peggy Seeger shares her Inheritance Tracks - Goodnight Irene performed by Leadbelly and The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face performed by Roberta Flack.
Some Fantastic Place - My Life In and Out of Squeeze by Chris Difford is out now, and he'll be on an acoustic book tour in the Spring of 2018.
Your Life in My Hands by Dr. Rachel Clarke.
Mrs Brown's Boys is on BBC One on Christmas Day and New Year's Day at 10pm.
