When Ruby Wax Met...

Unlike any other host before or since, Ruby was revolutionary in meeting more female guests than male. This episode looks back at these revealing, entertaining and unguarded meetings.

Pamela Anderson - one of the biggest TV stars in the 90s - proved to be so funny and outrageous that Ruby interviewed her twice, discussing everything from Jung to sex. Sharon Stone talks frankly about fame, having a movie star alter-ego and ageing.

Bette Midler emerges from a junket to burst into cabaret on an escalator, Liza Minelli misfires not once but twice before bringing down the house with undeniable talent, Dame Joan Collins is more playful and down-to-earth than we have ever seen her before, and the Spice Girls talk about the future (including the then-newly engaged Victoria) before Ruby joins them onstage in a glorious display of girl power.
