‘Royal special’ Lord Litchfield/ Ralf Little Artwork

"Tales from a very minor celebrity"

Is it possible for someone with very little self confidence and who is also very shy to go on to become a radio and TV presenter?…Hosting their own live radio show, interviewing royals, Oscar winning actors and musical superstars as well as hosting shows in front of 20,000 people and even moving to another country to start a new career….Well I’m here to tell you that it is, because I did just that. My name is Simon Baldock and this podcast is called, “Tales from a very minor celebrity”….this is the story of how I overcame my insecurities and 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! “Tales from a very minor celebrity”, a weekly podcast from me Simon Baldock.

‘Royal special’ Lord Litchfield/ Ralf Little

June 03, 2022 • Simon Baldock / Lord Litchfield / Ralf Little • Season 1 • Episode 11

Hello and welcome again to another episode of tales From A Very Minor Celebrity…..now I know I said last week that you’d be hearing from the man from Uncles Robert Vaughn and Mike Farrell from M.A.S.H…the final two stars of another couple programmes from my youth…but there’s been a small change of plan due to a little celebration that our Queen is having at the moment.…I’ve postponed that episode until next week now because as this is the Queens Platinum Jubilee and the whole of the UK seems to have gone bunting mad and holding street parties and other royal celebrations that I would look back at the two occasions that I met two people very close to her majesty, and both royal photographers…the first Antony Charles Robert Armstrong-Jones, 1st Earl of Snowdon, the late Princess Margarets former husband and Lord Litchfield, the Queen’s cousin and an interview I did with him in 2003….and as a little ‘Brucie Bonus’ you’ll also hear and interview with another royal, Ralf Little from the comedy series, The Royal Family…. I know I know…a little tenuous but it keeps the Royal them going..
