Ranganathan first began his misadventures when his producers challenged him to step out of his holiday comfort zone back in 2018, where he travelled to Haiti.

Special guest for the evening was Harry Coventry, a former BBC cameraman who worked on MCR21 at Wembley when Geoff Hurst’s hat-trick won England the World Cup and at Churchill’s funeral. He recalled the excitement and emotion of the 1966 final, and operating a camera on top of St Paul’s overlooking the funeral procession.
To have had one BBC career as distinguished as that of Sir Paul Fox would have been remarkable – Editor of Grandstand, Editor of Panorama and one of the most successful Controllers of BBC One ever (1967-73), who launched shows such as Dad’s Army, The Generation Game, The Two Ronnies and Parkinson. But to have had two – he left Television Centre in 1973 to put Yorkshire Television on the map, but returned in 1988 to become Managing Director of BBC Television – was, by any standards, an extraordinary achievement.
New images from the show have also been released by the broadcaster.

20 years later, a chance meeting between Billy’s sister Vera (Ragnarsson) and a strangely familiar man (Erik Enge, The Sandhamn Murders), leads her to question the truth surrounding the case.
Mosley’s podcast focuses on – naturally – just one thing an episode, in the hopes that listeners will take away a small change they can make in their daily lifestyles. One 15-minute episode might encourage you to take some deep breaths through your nose, another to take a walk immediately after it rains. Mosley then goes into the science of how it could improve your mental and physical health.
