More great guests

It's been a while, so we thought we'd have a couple.

First off, on Thursday 21st October, we'll be talking to Sheila Steaful, acclaimed actress and ex-wife of the late great Harry H. Corbett of Steptoe and Son fame. She'll be promoting her new autobiography, When Harry Met Sheila and talking about her illustrious career, including (hopefully) her work with Pete and Dud on Not Only... But Also....Then, fingers crossed, we'll be joined the following week (i.e. the 28th) by Martin Allenby, English teacher at the Duchess' Community High School in Alnwick and director of their upcoming production of Death of a Salesman. Allenby previously helmed Dracula, one of the best plays of last year, so this should really be something.
There will be more information on forthcoming attractions on this week's show, so don't forget to tune in this Thursday from 1pm. Thank you!
