"Tales from a very minor celebrity"
“Tales from a very minor celebrity” is the story of how I overcame my acute shyness and went on to have a 35 year career in broadcasting both in the UK and in Spain.
You’ll hear some of my most memorable celebrity interviews and all the adventures I’ve had both in the UK and Spain and the stories behind them…like the time I delivered half a carcass of beef to Margaret Thatcher at 10 Downing Street!

‘To boldly go’ William Shatner / George Takei
This weeks episode of Tales From a Very Minor Celebrity is another of a short series of shows that Im currently doing looking back at some of the interviews I carried out from stars from programmes which I followed when I was a youngster. I was obsessed with a number of American sci-fi shows which when you look back at now seem very crude in the special effects department but back then to me and Im sure millions of others had us glued to the screen mesmerised by the costumes and spaceships and beings from another world.
The most famous of them all of course was Star Trek, and this week you’ll hear from two of it’s stars who I spoke to in around 2006, George Takei who played Lieutenant Sulu, and the undisputed king of the Star Trek captains, James T Kirk himself William Shatner.
