Saturday Live - Alexandra Burke
Alexandra Burke reveals the life events that have inspired the songs on her new album.
Raynor Winn was made bankrupt and lost her home, just as her husband was diagnosed with a terminal illness. They embarked on the journey of their lifetime - to walk the South West Coast Path, the 630-mile. sea-swept trail from Somerset to Dorset, via Devon and Cornwall. She discusses the impact of this on their outlook on life and ideas of home.
The archaeologist and historian, Jules Hudson, describes his fascination with walled gardens.
Saturday Live listener Darren Townsend-Handscomb grew up as the child of a Deaf parent.

He's about to travel to the Gambia to train sign language interpreters.
