Celebrities choose the TV moments that shaped their lives. John Prescott joins Brian to look back at the classic television that helped make him who he is today.

In this episode, former deputy prime minister John Prescott joins Brian on the sofa to take a look back at the classic television that helped make him who he is today.

We find out how John's memories of the Queen's coronation were not so fond and how his admiration for a charismatic politician influenced him in those early days and touch on a cop drama featuring one of his favourite actors, Brian Blessed! We also revisit John's surprise cameo appearance in the sitcom Gavin and Stacey. Brian even surprises John with a special piece of archive, his very first network television appearance on the world's longest-running current affairs programme.
