We are in Regent’s Park in London this week for a walk with legendary broadcaster and journalist Robert Peston and his dog Merlin, an adorable bedlington-whippet cross!

On a gorgeous spring day, Robert tells us about his fascinating childhood, the experience of becoming a household name during the financial crash, and the way people have reacted to his distinctive voice through the years.

The second part of our chat will be available on Thursday!

Join us back in St James’ Park with broadcaster Ashley James - as she tells us all about going on Celebrity Big Brother and striking up an unanticipated friendship with Ann Widdecombe. Ashley explains why she doesn’t want to get married and we have a potential royal drive-by… as well as bumping into actual broadcast royalty!
