Russell Tovey joins Nikki Bedi and Shaun Keaveny. The actor shares how his childhood passion for cartoons and collecting developed into a life changing love of art. Monica Korpal talks about why she retrained to become a nurse. Having been a hospital patient since childhood, due to a rare blood condition, she now works for the Haematology Unit where she was a patient. Alex George entertained millions on Love Island in 2018 but he's also an A&E doctor and personal experiences now make him focused on improving mental health and well-being. Jonathan Dimbleby shares his Inheritance Tracks: Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley and Beethoven’s 7th Symphony, the final movement. Celebrity auctioneer and antiques dealer Raj Bisram has appeared on television programmes including Channel 4’s Four Rooms and the BBC’s Antiques Road Trip, Flog It! and Bargain Hunt. But before he followed that path, he served in the army, as a ski racer and instructor and loves performing magic.
