More Rosebud - Gyles Diary, episode 53

Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth

Tuesday, 10 November 2026 - 55 minutes

It's another interesting, and touching, episode of Gyles's diary, today from the second half of 1981. Gyles's life is still busy - with his debut appearance on Just a Minute, public-speaking events, and showbiz parties... but behind the scenes, serious and sad things are happening, as his darling Pa returns from America with a grave illness and quickly deteriorates. Gyles and Harriet also talk some more about Sooty, Sweep and Soo, and read out a brilliant email. We chat about saying final goodbyes to the dying, Punch and Judy, and how to live a fulfilling 100-year life. We hope you enjoy the show!
