Episode 2 of 20

Celebrities choose the TV moments that shaped their lives. Dame Esther Rantzen talks about the birth of consumer television and why TV is such a powerful tool.

Consumer champion and campaigner Dame Esther Rantzen joins Brian Conley on the sofa.

Brian takes to the potter's wheel to recreate a 1950s television interlude and transport Esther back to her childhood. And his pottery isn't bad either. We find out which iconic American sitcom gave Esther belly laughs and why a gritty 1960s drama made a huge impression on her, inspiring her to help those in need.

Esther talks to Brian about the birth of consumer television and why the little box in the corner is such a powerful tool in our lives.
