Ruth Wishart introduces a series of interview with fascinating men including ski-jumper Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards and 'hero' of the 7/7 London bombings, Paul Dadge.

In this week's Zone, Ruth Wishart revisits many of her own archive interviews with fascinating men.

Among the many various well known voices are ski-jumper Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards and Big Brother contestant "Nasty" Nick Bateman. There are also chats with writers like sports scribe Hugh McIlvanney, investigative journalist Roger Cook and financial whistle-blower Geraint Anderson. Elsewhere Ruth hears the incredible life stories of men like Tim Brannigan who was raised as adopted by his own mother and Sandy Reid, who was separated from his mother as a child. Plus there are one-to-ones with men like Paul Dadge, the unofficial 'hero' of the 7/7 bombings in London and charity fund-raiser Lloyd Scott who walked the bed of Loch Ness in a diver's suit.
