Christina Lamb talks to Adam Hargreaves

One to One

Available for over a year

Christina Lamb is an author and foreign correspondent for the Sunday Times. Her career kicked off when she met Pakistan's then opposition leader Benazir Bhutto. Christina was fascinated by the fact that she had no choice but to take over her father's party when she was just 24 years old after he was arrested and then executed. In this series of One to One, Christina explores the idea of family legacy. Almost everyone is familiar with the Mr Men, the pocket-size books that have caught the imagination of children over the past 40 years. In the first of three programmes, Christina talks to Adam Hargreaves, whose father was Roger Hargreaves, the creator of the Mr Men and Little Miss series. What was it like growing up with his father's fame and fortune? And she finds out how he made the decision to continue his father's legacy. Producer: Perminder Khatkar.
