Who would play at your dream festival? Shaun Keaveny's got a lifetime of festival moments (well, the ones he can remember) to draw on as each episode he guides ...
Simon Pegg – Film Icons, Formative Horror & Binton Blues
Pop culture hero to many, Simon Pegg reveals his music and film heroes, starting with The Clangers, that lesser-known gateway drug to Star Wars. From growing up in a music shop, to working with Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg and emailing Dave Grohl about horror comedy, Simon’s fantasy festival offers so many treats! On screen he may be enabling death-defying stunts in Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One, but off screen it’s all about sharing a love of horror films with his daughter, and pinch-me moments like being asked by Paul Simon for feedback on his latest album.

Alongside his festival choices, Joe Lycett breaks down what it was really like to pretend to the world that he would shred ten-thousand pounds unless David Beckham stepped away from his support of Qatar, where homosexual activity is illegal.

Rag’n’Bone Man – Bacon, Rum & The Power of No
Turns out Rag’n’Bone Man – aka Rory Graham – is just as likely to be serving bacon baps at his kids’ rugby club, as he is headlining arenas. He’s also a dab hand at making pasties and killer pop choruses, as he shares a life-long appreciation for folk and americana, hip-hop and soul music. He’s also got some sage advice for setting social boundaries, and when it’s OK to not say sorry.
