Patrick Gale and Gillian Burke in Cornwall

Available for over a year

Patrick Gale is author of 19 novels, one biography, a BBC drama, and claims he has never had a grown up job. He joins Richard and Aasmah in Mousehole, Conrwall to tell us about growing up in Wandsworth Prison and having the westernmost walled rose garden in the country. Cornwall resident Esmé Page saw disaster on the TV and like many of us, wanted to help - her idea of galvanising the local community has led to over 250 holidays in Cornwall for people affected by the Grenfell Tower tragedy. Sea shanty singing Fisherman's Friends shot to fame when they got spotted in their home town of Port Isaac, Cornwall, and were signed by record label Universal in 2010. A few records and many rousing performances down the line, they join us to serenade Richard and Aasmah. Gillian Burke is a biologist and a presenter on BBC's Springwatch, Autumnwatch and Winterwatch. Born in Kenya, she moved to Vienna with her family when she was ten - her mum worked for the UN as an environment officer and now lives in Cornwall with her young family. We also have the Inheritance Tracks of painter Ken Howard RA and contributions from our lovely Mousehole audience. Producer: Corinna Jones Editor: Eleanor Garland.
