Actor Tom Hollander joins Suzy Klein and Jay Rayner to talk Rev, Dylan Thomas and his attempts at DIY. JP Devlin raises a pint to Dylan Thomas on the centenary of his birth at one of Thomas's old London drinking haunts. Carole Stone has been described as Britain's most connected woman. She reveals her networking secrets and tells us why she doesn't make her connections through social media. He may have had to look up who 'Brad Pitt' was, but that didn't stop D-Day veteran Peter 'Cosy' Comfort from accepting an invite to join him on the red carpet to celebrate the premier of Brad's latest film 'Fury'. Fred and Mary Collingwood are one of Britain's oldest newlywed couples. Their whirlwind romance lasted 4 months before they tied the knot last week at 89.
