Jenni Murray
Rufus Hound hears from the diaries of Dame Jenni Murray describing her years as a teenage rebel in 1960s Barnsley. From 2020.
Rufus Hound presents more honest, intimate and hilarious interviews, with famous guests reading from their genuine teenage diaries.
This time Rufus talks to journalist and broadcaster, Dame Jenni Murray about her years as a schoolgirl in Barnsley.
Her diaries open with the bombshell that her mum and dad will be relocating to India, at which point the young Jenni moves in with her grandparents.
Free of her mother's disciplinarian ways, she experiments with makeup and miniskirts, and sings Joan Baez songs at the local folk club.
This diary is a true snapshot of life in 1960s Britain, complete with a meeting with a Beatle!
Producer: Harriet Jaine
A Talkback production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in May 2020.
