Theo Fennell is best known as a leading British jeweller and silverware designer who has specialised in original, handmade jewellery for over 40 years. He has also recently penned a self-deprecating yet heart-warming memoir “I Fear For This Boy” at the age of 70, which depicts his journey from financial despair to the glittering celebrity world of the rich and famous.

With host Catherine Fairweather in our sixth episode of The Third Act podcast, he muses over sobriety, the consequences of his ill-judged outfit on the first day of art school and the perils of taking one's self too seriously.
