Life At The Midpoint with Gabby Logan episodes

February 24, 2021 Fi and Jane
With over 60 years of broadcasting experience between them, Fi Glover and Jane Garvey are true BBC stalwarts with too many awards to count. From the unflinching world of current affairs and investigative journalism, they’re now more often found musing on family pets, leaking hose pipes and bingo wings, in their irreverent and utterly compelling smash-hit podcast ‘Fortunately With Fi and Jane’. So how do they feel when they look back on their careers now? Does Jane ever miss Woman’s Hour? And what’s the link between 1950’s football and the fast paced news cycles of today? Plus, we ask nutrition expert Nicola Moore if yams are the key to HRT.

February 16, 2021 Rio Ferdinand
An icon from the golden generation at a peak in football fever, Rio Ferdinand is known for being one of the best defenders in Premier League history, and has lived a lifestyle to match. Fast, glamorous and relentless, Rio's passion meant missed holidays, weddings - even the birth of his third child. Since then though, he's left the beautiful game behind, survived unimaginable grief, found love for the second time, and is once again a new dad. So, now, at 42, does family finally take front and centre? Has middle-age softened the edge that got him to the top? And how does he really feel about getting going grey? Plus, Dr Pixie McKenna clears up a few troublesome myths about men's health.

February 09, 2021 Tess Daly
It's easy to see why Bruce Forsyth nicknamed Tess Daly 'Miss Sunshine'. With age defying beauty, a dazzling smile and a disposition to match, she's a darling of British Television. But boy, has she worked to get there. From mooching around the streets of Salford to modelling in Paris, Barcelona, Tokyo and New York, she has climbed dizzying heights to Strictly stardom. In this pre-lockdown tea break, Tess reflects on her roots, her work ethic and redefining the confines of 'age appropriate'. She reveals what it felt like to go from 'TV babe' to 'geriatric' presenter a day after hitting 40 and why beauty is always best placed on the inside. But now, at 51, what's next for Tess? How does she keep her children grounded? And how many Cadbury's Twirls does she really keep in her car? Plus, we hear tips on how to keep your teeth in shape post-menopause from dental expert, Elaine Tilling.

February 03, 2021 Richard Bacon
Richard Bacon has done a lot in his life. From Blue Peter and the Big Breakfast to 5 Live and Panorama, he's been the face of countless programmes in almost every broadcast genre imaginable. Richard has described his career as 'scattergun' and himself as high energy with a short attention span, but one thing is enduringly clear. For him, life is an adventure, and midlife will not change that. Now 44, we take a look at that near death experience, explore giving up drinking (again!) and talk calculated risk as he carves himself a brand new path in the Hollywood hills. Plus, how do you keep intimacy interesting during lockdown? Sex and Relationships expert Annabelle Knight helps us all out there!

January 27, 2021 Davina McCall
It's official. Davina McCall is growing old disgracefully. After 20 years gracing our screens, Davina is a juggernaut of British television and mother to three children. Now 53, her star-power has not waned, but her personal life is transformed. She's moved on from a marriage, reclaimed her body, and has lost patience, with everything and everyone. How does she feel about ambition, sex and happiness now? And what does it mean to be comfortable in our skin? But most importantly - will she ever stop ‘flaunting’ that figure? Let’s hope not.

January 20, 2021 Piers Morgan
Piers Morgan may be many things, but a quitter is not one. In his journey from local news reporter to one of Britain's most famous faces, Piers has experienced more than his fair share of success, scandal, and setbacks - each time, rising to occupy positions of ever greater influence. But now in his mid 50's, will he choose to slow things down or age disgracefully? And is he ever touched by the sting of regret? Plus, we're joined by exercise scientist and Olympian, Greg Whyte who shares his tips for keeping fit in middle age. Just a hint: relaxing isn't one of them!

October 13, 2020 Mariella Frostrup
We finish this series with the legendary Mariella Frostrup. Having smashed through the career glass ceilings so many times - reinventing herself over and over when being told she can’t - her reward is being the cultural presenting icon she is today, and feeling secure in herself as she hits menopause. We’re joined by nutritionist Paul Chamberlain, who says it’s all about balance and that Omega 3 is what we need when it comes to keeping our brains tip-top and sharp.
