Ruby Wax, Social History, Memoirs & Music, plus the Inheritance Tracks of Lorraine Kelly

Ruby Wax has lived a life as varied as her career - acting, comedy, writing and mindfulness. Ruby is currently on a nationwide theatre tour which is looking back a the time she presented television documentaries during the 1990s and 2000s – when she developed an immersive approach to interviewing some of the biggest names in the world.

Professor Carl Chinn is a social historian who has unearthed stories of the lives of people embedded in the rich history of his home city of Birmingham – and they include his own link to a real-life Peaky Blinder.

And the author and journalist Sathnam Sanghera has written books about British History following his perspective forged in his early years, growing up in Wolverhampton, the place where he developed his love of literature and the music of George Michael.

Plus, the space-inspired Inheritance Tracks of the broadcaster Lorraine Kelly.
