  • So interesting

    It has been really interesting to hear the back stories for Peter as well as Valerie Singleton & Colin Baker.

    I’ve learned so much about them and how sliding doors moments can have a big influence on a career.

  • Perfecto Podcasting from Peter!

    It's been such a joy to listen to the first 3 episodes of Peter's podcast, & hear his warm, gentle & intelligent voice & manner which transports me right back to my childhood.

    Ironically, I know Peter from Blue Peter - but my son knows him from Dr Who (I brought him up well!).

    It was so lovely to hear Peter reminiscing with Colin Baker & Val, & hear all about their journeys to finding fame & shared experiences.

    Absolutely wonderful & fascinating stuff, and so many amazing stories & anecdotes.
