  • Live Aid: pop's Big Bang moment
    It may be hard to believe for those of you who can remember it, but this month marks the 40th anniversary of the iconic music extravaganza that was LiveAid. David Hepworth co-presented the BBC's coverage of the event, a role that gave him a ringside seat at Queen's celebrated performance and led to a sweary encounter with Bob Geldof. In conversation with Spencer Mizen, David shares his main recollections of the day and reveals why he believes, following 13 July 1985, the world of entertainment would never be the same again.

  • The Mitford Sisters | 1 : life of the week
    For much of the 20th century, six sisters from Britain’s minor aristocracy had a knack for making headline after scandalous headline. They were Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica and Deborah Mitford. Now, the sisters' incredible shared story has been adapted into a TV drama called ‘Outrageous’ – based on the best-selling biography by Mary S Lovell. In this first of two episodes, Mary explores the sisters’ lives up to the end of the Second World War in 1945. Speaking to Danny Bird, she covers the hedonistic 1920s, the ideological rupture between fascism and communism in the 1930s, and how the sisters seemed to be on the frontlines of history, wherever it was happening.
