Victoria Pendleton, Training Dragons and the Science of Stars, plus the Inheritance Tracks of Russell T Davies
Olympics Gold medallist Victoria Pendleton, How to Train Your Dragon author Cressida Cowell, and Dame Jocelyn Burnell on her astrophysics career.
Adrian Chiles is joined by three hugely successful guests - all shining stars in their fields.
Victoria Pendleton won it all as a track cyclist, a quite astounding athlete who dug so deep, physically and mentally, in her career, and also in navigating her life after cycling.
Cressida Cowell is the writer and illustrator behind - amongst other things - the incredibly successful How to Train your Dragon series.
So we have a sports star, and a star author, and in Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell we have someone whose work enabled the discovery of a new kind of star, a discovery which changed astronomy forever.
