“You’re the first person I’ve told - oops!” Skunk Anansie singer, DJ and now author, Skin, lets slip her engagement. She also reveals how Muhammed Ali visited her grandad’s club, relives her ‘Stepford wife’ phase, and wonders if she shouldn’t have gone to university.

“I am the king of procrastination.” Film composer David Arnold – creator of Bond movie scores and Bjork’s Play Dead – puts off his work a little longer… He tells Danielle about the time Tom Jones rode around St Albans in a Batmobile, his bizarre dreams involving Sir Paul McCartney, and why you should always work with nice people.

“She extended her long gnarly fingers and said peaches… peaches!” Jurassic Park star Jeff Goldblum talks to Danielle Perry about movies, jazz, nightmares, and dressing up as a cowboy.

“I famously bit Emily when we were five.” Balancing a life of books, family, an 80 year old tortoise and rescue menagerie, author Sophie Dahl talks to Danielle about her fifth book, Madame Badobedah, growing up in 17 houses, and why she likes being in one place.

“Comedy’s how you sugar the pill of life.” Steve Coogan talks about Alan Partridge, his latest film Greed, and his friendly rivalry with Rob Brydon on The Trip. He also tells Danielle Perry what he’s scared of, who his best friend is, and why he always had to go the long way round on his paper round…
