A series in which five public figures revisit the route of their paper round to reveal how it influenced their attitudes to work, creativity and independence. Having a paper round is a rite of passage for many children, and many successful public figures claim to have braved the early mornings and the elements to deliver newspapers. For some, it's a chance for independence and freedom, or a temporary escape from home. For others, it provides the money to spend on music, fashion and girl/boyfriends. Award-winning comedian Stephen K Amos recalls his paper round route with Bob Kingdom in Balham, South West London. Producer: Olivia Landsberg A Ladbroke production for 91福利社 Radio 4.
