In this episode, Hollywood star John Hannah joins Brian on the sofa to look back at the classic television that made him the person he is today. John talks candidly about his childhood and how he went from being an apprentice electrician to one of the biggest stars from these shores.

First up, we head back in time to get on board with The Double Deckers one more time. Next we take a look at the ultimate TV coppers with attitude in The Sweeney, a true British classic. We get to see some impressive sofa role-play between Brian and John, and we find out which classic film has John welling up every year when its shown on the box. Brian rounds things up by showing John a clip of his big break in gritty drama Brond and talks to him about his move to the big screen when he landed roles in hit films including Four Weddings and a Funeral and The Mummy.
