Sir Benjamin Slade - aristocrat, baronet and owner of two castles - is searching for a wife. He talks candidly about what he’s looking for in the next Lady Slade - and why legacy and having an heir still matter so much to him. From his famously specific list of requirements (no Scorpios, no Scots, a driving licence preferred) to his belief that running estates is a team effort, he lays out his thinking in his own words. He also discusses the realities of life alone, why he says he can’t cope without a partner to help run his homes and social life, and the unconventional way he’s tried to find love - including television, social media and rejecting dating apps altogether. Blunt, old-fashioned, outrageous and often funny, this is a revealing conversation about power, money, romance and Sir Benjamin’s search for the ‘right woman’.

Diana Moran - the original Green Goddess - reveals she has been living with a brain tumour for 16 years. She opens up about losing her partner of a decade, Robin, and enduring what she describes as her annus horribilis. It’s a moving, thoughtful conversation about grief, resilience, ageing, and how to keep looking forward when life takes an unexpected turn. Diana also reflects on her remarkable career, from finding her way onto television to becoming a fitness icon on BBC Breakfast Time in the 1980s in the famous green leotard (and why it almost wasn’t green at all!). Diana shares stories about love, marriage, widowhood, friendship, meeting King Charles and Queen Camilla through charity work, and why she’s always said no to cosmetic surgery. Honest, wise and often funny, this episode is about far more than nostalgia. It’s about independence, loss, and what it really means to live well - at any age.
