This week's episode takes inspiration from the reflections of newsreader Trevor McDonald in his autobiography 'An Improbable Life'. McDonald muses over how there is, almost always, a price to be paid when in pursuit of your 'prizes'. What is the elusive 'pot of gold' that you strive towards as your prize? Sir John Rowling suggests the answer is to be thrilled by the joy of the chase for your pot of gold, yet being aware of when the price outweighs the prize.
