Broadcaster Kirsty Wark joins Brian on the sofa to talk about the TV that shaped her.

They start by journeying back to the 60s to watch a clip of The Man from Uncle, a spy drama that Kirsty used to act out in the park. Brian discovers that Kirsty's passion for journalism was there from a very early age when they revisit a news story that shook the world. Brian surprises Kirsty with a clip of satirical sitcom Yes Minister, before moving on to real-life politics by looking back at arguably her most famous interview - with Margaret Thatcher.

Kirsty talks about the people who inspired her, including the late, great Robin Day, one of Britain's most cherished broadcasters. Throughout the programme, Brian finds out about the television that made Kirsty the person she is today.
