  • Chloe Petts (Part One)
    Jan 7 2025

    For our first walk of 2025, we’re in East London’s Victoria Park with the brilliant comedian Chloe Petts!


    With a name like Petts - we had high expectations that Chloe was going to be a dog person… and we weren’t disappointed! Chloe told us all about her imaginary golden retriever and then her *real* childhood dog Grady - who had a rather flirty entry into The Petts Household.


    Chloe tells us about the perks of being misgendered, the anxiety of her early years in comedy and what it was like to have a mum who worked as a forensic scientist.

  • Kevin McCloud (Part Two)
    Dec 26 2024

    We’re at Goodwood this week with the brilliant Kevin McCloud!


    Kevin tells us about how a Channel 4 commissioner initially didn’t think he was the right presenter for Grand Designs, how he feels about having uncomfortable conversations on the show, and whether he makes a habit of judging other people’s homes.


    Grand Designs celebrated its 25th year in 2024. You can watch every episode on Channel 4!

  • Kevin McCloud (Part One)
    Dec 24 2024

    Join Emily and Ray for a very special walk with designer, writer and television presenter Kevin McCloud!


    The stunning backdrop for our walk with Kevin is the beautiful grounds of Goodwood House in East Sussex. Kevin has a very special connection with Goodwood - as he is the curator of their Barkitecture design contest - which is held annually in aid of charity during a wonderful event called Goodwoof.


    Kevin does claim to be able to speak dog - as he has three dog grandchildren, but his time at home is currently being taken up by two elderly cats.


    He tells us all about how he grew up surrounded by design, his year learning Italian on a Tuscan vineyard and how he felt he didn’t fit in at Cambridge University.


    Grand Designs celebrated its 25th year in 2024. You can watch every episode on Channel 4!
