Sails the South Seas in search of Fanny and Robert Louis Stevenson

Pamela Stephenson gave up her job as a psychologist and - having analysed her husband, the comedian Billy Connolly - left him and two of their daughters behind, as she followed in the intrepid footsteps of Fanny Stevenson, maverick wife of the writer, Robert Louis Stevenson.

Pamela joins Jenni to talk about her journey in a sailing boat around the South Seas, meeting her dream lover - and how Billy reacted to her trip. 

Treasure Islands: Sailing The South Seas in the wake of Fanny and Robert Louis Stevenson
