Episode 5 of 20

Celebrities choose the TV moments that have shaped their lives. Mariella Frostrup tells how a children's show featuring a cross-eyed lion made a huge impression on her.

Journalist and presenter Mariella Frostrup joins Brian on the sofa to take a look back at the classic television that made her the person she is today.

We find out how her love of a children's show featuring a cross-eyed lion made a huge impression on her in those early days, and how Tiswas helped nurse her through the odd hangover. Mariella reveals a close encounter with a comedy legend and tells Brian what it was like to work with others on shows like Absolutely Fabulous.

She speaks openly about her childhood and describes how she felt when she picked up the Big World Cafe microphone for the very first time.
