Gabby Logan
Gabby Logan joins extreme athlete Ross Edgley, comedian Natasia Demetriou, former Mr Gay UK and Lord Mayor Carl Austin-Behan and the inheritance tracks of Dame Marina Warner.
Richard Coles and Kate Silverton are joined by Gabby Logan who has covered most of the major sporting events in football, rugby and athletics and been a trailblazer for women in sport. Her own sporting credentials are impeccable : she鈥檚 the daughter of professional footballer and manager Terry Yorath, married to rugby international Kenny Logan and was also an international competitor in rhythmic gymnastics.
Carl Austin-Behan left a promising career in the RAF in the late 90s after his military superiors discovered he was gay. Since then he started his own business, won the Mr Gay UK contest and became the youngest person to ever hold the office of Lord Mayor of Manchester.
Comedian and actress Natasha Demetriou is well known for her role as a Nadja, an ancient vampire trying to cope with life in modern day New York in the comedy What We Do In The Shadows. However her latest project lets her out into the daylight, as she presents the Big Flower Fight, a surreal competition for avant-garde florists who make huge sculptures from flowers.
Ross Edgley is a man who likes a challenge, the more extreme the better. He discusses why he chose to be the first person to swim around the coastline of Britain and how mental resilience is a quality that can be learnt.
And writer Dame Marina Warner shares her Inheritance Tracks: Si mi chiamo Mimi from La Boheme by Giacomo Puccini and Sonata No. 3 in A major, op. 69 by Ludwig van Beethoven.
