What happens when a museum conservator who has given up on love shares one unexpected kiss with a centuries-old statue… and the knight inside wakes up?Julie Gonzalo (Emily Porter) and James Trevena (Sir Griffin de Beauford) join me to talk about Hallmark Channel's A Knight to Remember, based on Bryn Donovan's novel Her Knight at the Museum.
