Sue Cook Hasn't Pulled Out! | Peter Purves, Doctor Who and Blue Peter Legend, Meets Sue Cook
Our guest today is one of Britain's most recognisable broadcasters. From Nationwide and Breakfast Time to Crimewatch and Children in Need, my friend Sue Cook became one of the defining faces of BBC television and famously "Pulled Out" from an Afternoon with Alan Partridge. There hangs a tale.. Before all that, Sue and I shared a very happy time presenting together on We're Going Places, so there's plenty to reminisce about, and a few twists and turns in Sue's remarkable life that will keep you listening to the very end. The Peter Purves Podcast brings you great conversations with the people who shaped Britain's television landscape, hosted by Doctor Who and Blue Peter legend Peter Purves.

Peter Purves Interviews Steven Moffat: The Future of Doctor Who
My exclusive interview with multi-award winning writer and producer Steven Moffat. We discuss the past, present and yes, the future of Doctor Who, as well as his remarkable life and career, from sitcoms to Sherlock, and his journey from writer to showrunner during the Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi. I want to say how exciting I found this chat. For a writer to be so brilliantly talkative and honest is fantastic, and it made for a fascinating conversation. I think Doctor Who fans are going to find this one particularly special. As always, thank you so much for your continued support. It really does make all this possible. My Patreons heard this interview before anyone else as well as enjoying hours and hours of additional content.
