NEW SERIES: Award-winning Radio 4 broadcaster and Daily Mail columnist Jenni Murray meets beloved household names and discovers the moments that changed them. What have they learned over their remarkable lifetimes?

In an extraordinarily frank, funny and poignant first episode, Have I Got News For You’s comic mainstay Paul Merton explains how a love of comedy got him through some of the hardest moments of his life. He reveals how it helped him cope with the death of his wife, and tells how it got him through both life-threatening illness and hospitalisation for mental health issues. It’s an astonishing story of resilience and humour.
