Steve Backshall, Natalie Queiroz, Frank Cottrell-Boyce and the Inheritance Tracks of Nick Robinson

On today's programme, Adrian Chiles is with Steve Backshall the adventurer and naturalist who’s captivated all of us with his work, but especially children, millions of them, who he’s led wide-eyed into the natural world.

Frank Cottrell Boyce is blessed with a similar gift for capturing the imagination of children as well as grownups. The esteemed screenwriter is presently the Children’s Laureate. Frank will be appearing on the programme ahead of his appearance at the Children's Laureate Lecture called - The Kids Are Not Alright – which is being held on Thursday the 14th May at The Royal Institution, London.

And amazing storytellers though Frank and Steve are, even they might struggle to do justice to the tale of what Natalie Queiroz has been through. Her work campaigning for the victims of crime has earned her a well-deserved MBE.

Plus we'll hear the Inheritance Tracks of broadcaster and journalist Nick Robinson.
