Ben Miller, Synaesthesia, Women's Football, and the Inheritance Tracks of Chris and Xand van Tulleken
Ben Miller sprinkles a little Christmas magic, Lucy Steeds shares her joy of winning Waterstones Book of the Year, and Grace Vella on how she turned disappointment into a business.
We鈥檙e in the company of Ben Miller, comedian, actor, writer and some time student of physics...here to tell us how Father Christmas can in fact deliver a gift to every child in just one night with his new book "The Night I Met Father Christmas".
Someone who has had an early Christmas present already is Lucy Steeds, who this week was crowned the winner of the Waterstones Book of the Year. She reveals the process of how her debut book, "The Artist", has become so successful - and how he channels her synaesthesia.
Grace Vella spent her childhood dreaming of becoming a professional footballer, she almost made it playing for Liverpool and Man City, but didn鈥檛 quite make the grade, so made football her business instead and has founded the women's sports brand Miss Kick.
All that, plus Hollie McRae, daughter of iconic rally driver Colin McCrae, tells us how she has become determined to keep rally driving in the family - and we have the shared Inheritance Tracks of Chris and Xand van Tulleken.
