Star of stage and screen Greg Wise shares his memories of growing up during the 70s, and how his relationship with his late sister changed over the years.

Greg recalls buying his first album, learning guitar and the long journey to deciding that acting was the career for him, culminating in his breakthrough role in Sense & Sensibility. Greg's relationship with his older sister remained close throughout their lives, and never more so when she was diagnosed with cancer. Alongside his wife Emma Thompson, Greg cared for his sister right to the end of her life and in Carer's Week discusses the often overlooked role of carers.

Also on the show, Johnnie delves into the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ archive to uncover the stories from This Week In Music and another classic seven-inch single will be added into Johnnie's Jukebox.
