Joining us today is a man whose place in the history books was secured back in 2015, when he became the first Brit to ever walk in space. He's gone on to become a celebrated author and public speaker. We're delighted to be joined by esteemed astronaut and former Army officer, Tim Peake!
Tim is here to talk all about his remarkable career that's taken him from difficult decisions on the battlefield to the stars and how his experiences in space have helped him view the world differently. We also chat about the future of space exploration - and whether he'd put himself forward for touted missions to the Moon and Mars - as well as what qualities make a great astronaut and how advancements in space are crucial to the survival of our species. 
You can book tickets to Tim's new show, 'Tim Peake: Astronauts' right here!

As his new drama 'Red Eye' debuts on ITV, we're delighted to be joined by an esteemed actor whose dulcet tones earned him a writing deal with Audible - which proved just as successful as his acting. It's Richard Armitage!
Richard talks us through a fascinating career that's taken him from performing in his school's version of The Hobbit aged 11 to West End smash hits, cracking TV dramas and back to The Hobbit - as in, one of the biggest film series of the last decade. We also chat about screenwriting's equal treatment of men and women, maintaining a private life and the Armitage Army!
