meet someone who
exceeds all expectations.
Patrick Stewart is just
such a person, being at
once funny, charming
and a terrific actor—as demonstrated
by his left-of-field performance in new
thriller
Green Room
(warning: it’s not
for the faint hearted). You can read
my chat with him on p22.
This issue is also a celebration of
heroes: in the form of firefighters and
their diverse roles on p58; and the
amazing Peter Bowker on p78, who
managed to cross the Greenland ice
cap unassisted despite losing a leg in
Afghanistan. Laurence Kemball-Cook
might also qualify for the title soon—
his scheme to harness the energy
from footsteps has truly revolutionary
potential. Find out more on p112.
Finally, no discussion of colourful
personalities is complete without
mentioning Nicholas Parsons. Now
in his 93rd year, Nicholas looks back
on his amazing broadcasting career—
including five decades helming BBC’s
Just a Minute—on
p30. Enjoy!
