Nikki Bedi and Richard Coles are joined by actor Minnie Driver who talks about her life, career and the lesson’s she’s learnt from her life so far. We also have Pearl Lowe, the former singer, ex-party girl and recovered addict on her regrets and living in the moment. Actor, director and writer Denis Lawson is perhaps best known for his appearances in classic films such the original “Star Wars” trilogy, but he has years of experience in the West End as a musical theatre actor, winning an Olivier Award for his performance in “Mr Cinders”. He joins us. Listener Michael Pincher contacted Saturday Live about his brush with a whale bigger than his boat in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, and the eventual return of the log book from the life changing sailing trip he took 47 years before.
