"Tales from a very minor celebrity"
“Tales from a very minor celebrity” is the story of how I overcame my acute shyness and went on to have a 35 year career in broadcasting both in the UK and in Spain.
You’ll hear some of my most memorable celebrity interviews and all the adventures I’ve had both in the UK and Spain and the stories behind them…like the time I delivered half a carcass of beef to Margaret Thatcher at 10 Downing Street!
