In each programme less-than-intrepid interviewer Jeremy spends one night in the home of each of his interviewees. On their territory, he asks about their personal histories, plus we discover some very odd things about the way they live their daily lives.

In this episode he interviews Lauren Bone, a contemporary artist who has hit the headlines with her slogan art on great buildings. Over the course of the 15 minute programme we discover, very much through art critic Waldemar Januszczak, something unexpected about her. It was Waldemar who first noticed her as a student and recognised she had a real and original - though much less trendy - talent for painting beautiful tiny animal and nature portraits.

But what happens when a raw talent is waylaid by a Svengali-type person - in Lauren's case, her partner Dagmar who persuaded her to grab the headlines with her graffiti projects?

Rebecca Front and brother Jeremy explore the genius of artist Lauren Bone.

These 'actuality' interviews are interspersed with interviews Jeremy has done with famous voices who have been 'affected' in one way or another by the central character of each episode.

In today's episode, Jeremy takes a look at Peggy Saville. He speaks to 'close friend' Honor Blackman about what made Peggy such a special and loved star.

Now in her seventies, Peggy was very big in the 'Round the Back' series of saucy British comedy films: Round the Back of the Barracks, Round the Back of The Costa Brava, etc. Peggy was always cast as the young, busty innocent in a fearsomely pointy bra. Her father, Sheridan Saville was at The Rada with Olivier and warned his daughter that, due to her piggy eyes, she would never make it in pictures, but her beautiful voice would keep her in work. Sheridan has remained the only significant man in her life - she has never married, though ironically she became the bigger star.

During the course of the programme, Peggy talks about her film roles in all innocence. She genuinely doesn't seem to realise how chock full of innuendo they were. Now an elderly woman but still a daddy's girl, she still has the same beautiful voice and it still makes her money, as Jeremy discovers when he accidentally answers Peggy's phone.

It's day three of Jeremy Front's week with 'Incredible Woman' Jessica Kennedy and it's a rude awakening when he is hauled out of bed to go running with her and Eva. It's manageable though, especially as this might prove to be the best time to catch Jessica with her guard down and snaffle some useful revelations, such as how exactly she came to become head of the Zinoviev School of International Relations and whether any of the conspiracy theories about her are true. Jeremy also hears from Nell Slater, a prominent activist and journalist who is one of Jessica's fiercest critics.
