Gyles Brandreth, Lorna Tucker, Paul Lamb, Sophie Duker

Gyles Brandreth discusses his love of words, Lorna Tucker who went from homelessness to filmmaker and Paul Lamb the hedge layer who restores ancient countryside hedgerows.

The writer and broadcaster Gyles Brandreth discusses his love of words and language.

Lorna Tucker is the fearless and celebrated filmmaker who rose from homelessness and a life of crime on the streets of Soho to Sundance glory.

And Paul Lamb the wagon-living-hedge-laying wizard, who weaves living masterpieces from nature’s tangle, restoring ancient countryside hedgerows and keeping alive a vanishing ancient craft.

Plus we have the Inheritance Tracks of the stand-up comedian and writer Sophie Duker.
