Joan Bakewell looks back at her extraordinary career at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ and shares with viewers some of her most memorable moments, from her early days honing her craft in the interviewer's chair at Late Night Line-Up to her interactions with cutting-edge artists of the 80s and 90s and Hollywood stars of the stage and screen.

Joan talks about her love of conversation and how 'being nosey' made her a better journalist. She describes how she fought hard to maintain her role as a female journalist in the early days of television, the misogyny she faced and how she made it her career's work to keep the arts firmly on the nation's screens. She discusses her role in ethical programming, such as Heart of the Matter and Taboo and how, at 91, she's not ready to stop talking yet.
