Introduction
For the final episode of Series Four of The Third Act, Gyles Brandreth returns to Auriens.

Fondly dubbed the “Peter Pan” of Auriens, following his time in the wellness programme, where he emerged feeling fitter than ever.

He likely needs no introduction. A broadcaster, author, former politician, podcaster and even a jumper designer, he’s also a familiar face on beloved programmes such as Countdown, Just a Minute and Celebrity Gogglebox.

In conversation with Catherine Fairweather, he reflects on how young he really feels, what happiness means to him, royalty, and the art of embracing change.
