Newsreader Penny Smith goes on a journey through the classic TV that influenced her.

Celebrities choose the TV moments that have shaped their lives. Brian Conley takes newsreader Penny Smith on a journey through the classic TV that influenced her.

Comedy legend Brian Conley takes newsreader Penny Smith on a journey through the classic TV that helped to shape her into one of our favourite early-morning presenters, and finds the answers to some questions about her telly-watching habits.

What impact did one of our greatest ever comedy duos have on her? Why did she look forward to East German children's programme The Singing Ringing Tree, even though it scared her, and why did she hide her love of the long-running, much-respected documentary series Horizon from her friends at school?
