Nikki Bedi and Richard Coles are joined by the actress and presenter Emily Atack. She shot to fame in coming of age comedy The Inbetweeners when she was just 17. TV and theatre roles came her way, as well as stints on reality shows such as Dancing on Ice and I’m a Celebrity. She has since done three series of her eponymous one woman show for ITV.

Donna Freed is a writer and translator who is one half of the UK's longest running all-female podcast, Radio Gorgeous. Donna was adopted, and found out that her birth parents were involved in an infamous double indemnity life insurance scam. She joins us.

We also have: Alan Leach, formerly Shed Seven drummer turned solo artist whose latest album is I wish I knew now what I thought I knew then. He also loves pub quizzes, and his hatred of cheating led to him creating an app to help stop it.

and Dr Tim Spector whose Zoe app monitored covid cases over the country. Now he's turned his focus to nutrition, inspired by a dramatic personal experience.

Inheritance Tracks are chosen this week by ACDC's Brian Johnson: Look over yonder wall by Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Broken Down Angel by Nazareth.

And your Thank you.

Producer: Corinna Jones
