BBC Radio 4 - Saturday Live, Adrian Chiles

Amanda Wakeley on her fashionable life and Billy Idol's Inheritance Tracks.

Adrian Chiles on moderation, Amanda Wakeley on the ups and downs of fashion and Dr Rahul Mandal on engineering cakes and winning.

Nikki Bedi and Richard Coles are joined by Adrian Chiles.  He has graced our TV screens presenting and reporting on various issues over the last 20 years from business to sport, to chat and back to sport again.  But recently he has been talking about alcohol moderation, a subject that has become a personal passion project.  

Dr Rahul Mandal is the research scientist who won Bake Off in 2018 despite not having ever made a cake until 2016.  He joins us. 

Listener Dr Susie West was a junior doctor on the cruise liner the SS Canberra in 1982.  Then the Falklands conflict happened and the ship was requisitioned as troop ship.  Susie decided to stay on and within five days they were sailing to the South Atlantic, where they became a target for Argentinian planes, saw ships sunk, took on  survivors and POWs.  She joins us.

British designer Amanda Wakeley OBE joins us to discuss her fashion evolution and her new podcast ‘Amanda Wakeley: Style DNA.

We have your thank you to someone you were unable to thank at the time, and the Inheritance Tracks of Billy Idol.  He chooses Billy the Kid by Tex Ritter and Children of the Revolution by Marc Bolan and T-Rex.

Produced by Corinna Jones
