Fiona Bruce and Tree Climbing

BBC Radio 2 - The Chris Evans Breakfast Show, Fiona Bruce and Tree Climbing

Chris is joined by Antiques Roadshow's Fiona Bruce, plus tree climbing with James Aldred.

Fiona Bruce tells Chris about the 40th series of Antiques Roadshow and Great Job Wednesday stars professional tree climber James Aldred.

Chris is joined by Fiona Bruce who talks us through four decades of the Antiques Roadshow with the programme's first ever presenter Bruce Parker, the longest serving team member Dave Battie and reminds us of that unforgettable Van Dyck painting. On Great Job Wednesday Chris meets James Aldred, the man who climbs trees for a living and discovers what lies above the world's rainforest canopy. Vassos is joined in the Sports Locker by heavy weight boxer Hughie Fury. Chris gets excited for the new Goodbye Christopher Robin film when Will Tulstin's parents contact the show. For today's Top Tenuous Chris asks for your claims to the fame of mashed potato and hears from listener Debbie who reveals she used mashed potato instead of ice cream for magazine shoots. Today's Pause For Thought comes from writer and musician Jahnavi Harrison.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
