Description
In the final episode of this series, Gabby speaks to one of her television heroes. This man inspired her as a student and has continued to do so in midlife as well. Richard Madeley may have touched the upper limit of middle age, but his curiosity and zest for life are nowhere near. From smoky regional newsroom to the glamour of Granada Studios, Richard's spark helped him to become a darling of daytime television, but it was his partnership and connection with wife Judy that really cemented it. Now at 65, how does he feel about his role on Good Morning Britain? Does he ever miss the unique chemistry with Judy? And what was the moment that made him give up his twenty-a-day habit? We're also hearing from Charlie Starmer-Smith, who's inspiring story about his father's battle with Alzheimer's has led him to do something he never thought was possible.
