The TV That Made Me returns for a sizzling second series with legendary entertainer Brian Conley as he journeys through the fantastic world of television with some of our favourite celebrities who have chosen the TV moments that have shaped their lives

In this episode, journalist and presenter Mariella Frostrup joins Brian on the sofa to take a look back at the classic television that helped make her the person she is today. We find out how an iconic chat show set a high bar for her future TV watching, how some illicit viewing came back to haunt her and how Tiswas helped nurse her through the odd hangover. Mariella reveals a close encounter with a comedy legend and tells Brian what it was like to work with others on shows like Absolutely Fabulous.

She speaks openly about her childhood and describes how she felt when she picked up the Big World Cafe microphone for the very first time.
