This week, Libby Purves celebrates her twentieth anniversary as presenter of Midweek.
She is joined by:
DEBBIE GREENWOOD
Debbie Greenwood was a guest on Libby's first programme. She had just won the title of Miss Great Britain 1984.
After the contest she went from Beauty Queen to Breakfast Time, in what was the start of her long and varied presenting career. She's since worked on many Radio and Television programmes including: BBC 1’s Breakfast Time and Garden Party, BBC 2's Tricks of the Trade, Open House on C5, QVC Shopping Channel; and also on LBC and R2.
PO BRONSON
Po Bronson is an American writer.
He has recently published the fruits of over 70 interviews he conducted with people who made big career changes. Having left a lucrative but unfulfilling job in Silicon Valley for the risky world of novel-writing, he was surprised at how many people he came across who had made a similar move. Stories range from the dotcom millionaire training to be a teacher, to the investment banker who became a catfish farmer.
What Should I do with my life? is published by Vintage. Price: £6.99
CHARLOTTE BINGHAM
Charlotte Bingham is a best-selling author and, along with her husband, Terence Brady, has written for television programmes including: No Honestly, Upstairs Downstairs and Take Three Girls.
Her parents worked for M15. The thriller writer John Le Carre disclosed that his fictional spy George Smiley was based on her father, John Bingham.
Her latest novel is set in the covert world of espionage during the WWII. Daughters of Eden is published on 2nd February, 2004 by Bantam Press, Price: £6.99.
DR. GEOFF SMITH
Dr. Geoff Smith is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath. He is also the leader of the British Mathematical Olympiad team.
