Welcome Back to The Apple and the Tree with our new host, Richard Coles!

In Episode Two of this new series, we're in Hertfordshire to meet football coach, pundit and former professional footballer, Les Ferdinand and his daughter, actor and sports event consultant, Lauren.

In a deep-thinking and free-flowing conversation, they talk about the cost of following your dream, childhood, celebrity, family, father/daughter relationships, loneliness, avoiding social media, playing for your country vs playing for your club, creating a character and so much more. There is nothing off limits.
