The Cutlery Club ConversationsIn Conversation with TV Producer/Presenter and Food, Drink & Travel Writer, Andy ClarkeIn this November 2023 episode of The Cutlery Club Conversations I am chatting with the delightful food and drink writer, Andy Clarke.
Andy is also well known as a Television Producer, having worked on some brilliant programmes like Saturday Kitchen and one of my absolute faves, Gordon, Gino and Fred. He also presents the summer day festivals, Pub in the Park so rubbing shoulders with top celebs is second nature to him.

Diane shares some invaluable advice for young aspiring actors and talks about the diversity of the roles she undertook before joining Eastenders. We touch on the importance of family, bucket lists and the challenges of being a black woman in the world of entertainment.

The Cutlery Club ConversationsIn Conversation with actress, Diane Parish | Part 1So, here I am, once again, enjoying another conversation with one of the special guests from a Cutlery Club Salon, my dear friend, Diane Parish, best known for her character as Denise in the award-winning British soap opera, Eastenders.
Diane hosted a Cutlery Club dinner earlier this year to celebrate International Women’s Day, alongside the brilliantly funny author and stand-up comedian, Rosie Wilby. They were such a superb combination, entertaining the 30 female guests with their funny stories and sharing some really personal nuanced views on love, life and femininity. It
was quite special.

The Cutlery Club ConversationsIn Conversation with 'Whispering' Bob Harris | Part 2After nipping off for a delicious lunch at The White Hart in Fyfield, one of Bob's favourite gastro pubs, we head back to his home studio where we continue our lovely conversation.
I delve a little deeper into the man behind the voice and Bob, as relaxed and generous as ever, shares his thoughts and feelings, in the most natural and unguarded way - on his health, the break up of his third marriage, and near death experience when he suffered an aortic dissection.
And as always, he throws in a couple of fab stories a...
