  • Memories Flood Back

    A great trip down memory lane courtesy of many of the actors who became the most famous kids (and adults) in Britain for a while. Neil is always a kind soul who puts the interviewer completely at ease and allows them the space to reminisce and relax. Long may it prosper.

  • Great guests…

    Great guests…shame the host annoyingly spends 80% of the time talking at them about his own detailed knowledge of the show, rather than asking more insightful questions and allowing them to talk.
