Appearing on BBC School Report

I was invited recently by Whickham School (I was a pupil there from 1975 to 1982) to be interviewed as part of their involvement with BBC School Report. In it, the children run the whole programme from deciding the questions to filming, directing, and presenting the programme. The recording was this morning at the Media Centre in Sunderland University. I was asked a range of questions about why I like living in the North East, what makes an inspirational leader, what I have done on Red Nose Day in past years, why people should vote and to tackle childhood obesity. But the one issue they seemed most interested in was my goats!
