Sir John Rutter, one of the greatest living composers, joins me to speak about how he reached the pinnacle of choral music. Works of his, such as 'For the Beauty of the Earth' and 'The Lord bless you and keep', among many others, have touched the hearts of millions around the world. Further to this, he has become extremely important for Christmas music, composing and arranging many of the carols we sing today. This is a man who has remained dedicated to his craft for decades, and he will go down in history as one of the greats.

Interview with Sir Peter Bazalgette, a British television executive and producer, considered one of the most influential people in British television. He is responsible for bringing shows such as Big Brother and Deal or No Deal to our screens, as well as serving as Chairman of ITV. He also has a keen interest in promoting the arts, having been the Chairman of Arts Council England. Was such a fun interview.
