White Wine Question Time – Details, episodes & analysis

Kate's reporting from her sunbed on a well-deserved holiday, here with a back catalogue cracker to get your weekend off to the best possible start!

With the Paralympics well underway, today is a perfect day to revisit our chat with comedian, author and host of The Last Leg, Adam Hills. The Last Leg's coverage has become a staple of the Paralympics over the last decade, so what better time to revisit our chat with its esteemed host.

Adam chats to us about his journey from Australian comedy clubs to international stages, the origins of the Last Leg, and some of his more casual hobbies - like writing bestselling books and owning a restaurant. Yeah, seriously.

This week, as we try to shake off our post-Olympic blues, we’re diving into some equally remarkable - hilariously unconventional - sporting stories!

First, Aled Jones shares his story of the impromptu game of baseball he played with George Michael and Martin Kemp during Bob Geldof and Paula Yates’ wedding. Then, Ben Shepherd reveals how a university course mix-up developed an unexpected love for ballet, ultimately earning him a degree in dance. And finally, cricket legend Phil Tufnell tells us about the moment his coach dragged him to the barbers for a much needed haircut which, arguably, ended up being the biggest factor in his success for England!

Our guest today has been a stalwart on our screens for nearly twenty years through her work on Channel 4 News and has become a celebrated presenter, journalist and author: it’s the lovely Cathy Newman!

Joining us today, fresh off his departure from Eastenders is seasoned actor and self-styled “The Greatest Entertainer in his price range” - the lovely Brian Conley!

After only announcing his departure last week, we chat about his time in Albert Square and how he’s keen to get stuck in to lots of other projects. We also talk about how tough times at school were the catalyst to him constantly looking to do more, some of his favourite stage performances and how he once offered Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman some… private time with him and his wife. You’ll have to listen to believe it!

With the biggest show on British TV back on our screens, we’re taking another trip to the Cellar to revisit conversations with Strictly legends. Today, it’s two of the show’s most famous professional dancers turned man and wife: Janette Manrara & Aljaž Škorjanec!

We chat about how they came to end up on the show, Janette’s transition from the dance floor to the TV sofa and how they’ve helped each other choreograph some of the show’s most famous routines. Plus, we play a round of Mr and Mrs and they each share their own versions of their love story. Spoiler: they differ a fair bit!

Today, we have a true culinary maestro joining us. She’s a beloved chef and cookery teacher who has transformed countless (hopeless) home cooks into confident culinary wizards – the one and only Rosemary Shrager!

You may fondly remember Rosemary’s debut on ‘Ladette to Lady’, where she worked her magic on the wayward and turned them into refined ladies. But Rosemary’s talents don’t stop at the stove. She’s appeared on hit TV shows including ‘I’m A Celebrity’ and ‘The Real Marigold Hotel’, and is now a published author, adding a thrilling twist to her repertoire with her second crime novel, ‘The Proof in the Pudding.’

With Strictly back on our screens this Saturday, we thought it was a perfect time to look back at some of the BBC ballroom beauties who have graced the WWQT dancefloor over the past four and a half years. First up, it’s judge, jury and executioner, Craig Revel Horwood!

Craig opens up about his remarkable life gallivanting across stages all over the world, how open he is to tough love coming back around, and ways he’s sought to improve his mental and physical health in an often brutal industry.

You can listen to the second part of our chat with Craig here!

Joining us today is This Morning’s new frontman, who also finds the time to host live coverage of almost every sport you could think of: it’s the delightful Craig Doyle!

Craig joins us straight from hosting duties to chat about everything from past failures that proved a necessary step on the journey to success, to hosting baseball matches alongside Bill Murray, shouting instructions at Diego Maradona and kayaking with Cameron Diaz! As you'd expect, he takes it all cooly in his stride - or so you'd think!

For many of our previous guests, music encapsulates and reminds them of their best and worst moments. For others, as is the case with our guests today, making that amazing music is their calling.

Raye tells us about sidling up to Beyoncé and David Guetta thanks to her songwriting, while former X Factor contestant Ella Henderson talks about using her music as therapy during life’s tough challenges. Elsewhere, Tom Grennan reminisces about how he (quite literally) stumbled upon his amazing talent!

We’re back with the second part of our extended interview with one of the UK’s most prominent and influential broadcasters.

After we heard his thoughts last week on the state of modern media and the destitute political landscape, today we turn our attention inwards. How does his family deal with the pressures that come with his job? Is he ever satisfied with his work? And why has he been to see ABBA Voyage three times?! 

You can listen to the full conversation with Alastair and Grace Campbell here!
