Aled Jones

Extraordinary stories, unusual people and a sideways look at the world. Aled Jones, Tez Ilyas, Fred Sirieix and the inheritance tracks of Alan Davies.

Aled Jones will forever be associated with the song he made a hit - Walking in the Air. Now he's released a seasonal CD where he sings in harmony with his 14 year old self. He'll join Richard and Aasmah in the studio.

Tez Ilyas left the civil service for comedy after doing a Saturday course in stand up. He's since appeared in eight competition finals, had a show in Edinburgh and wrote and performed the Tez Talks series about how to be a Muslim on 成人快手 Radio 4.

A chance conversation with a friend at university has taken Kate Munro all around the world making snow sculptures. Every year, Kate spends 3 days and 3 nights in sub-zero temperatures, carving a 3 metre block of snow into a beautiful sculpture.

Fred Sirieix is Ma卯tre d' on First Dates, the Bafta award winning hit Channel 4 dating show, but he's also general manager of a top Michelin starred restaurant, and runs a service training company which helps prisoners train to work in restaurants.

JP meets John Richards who went on a mission to play every Cathedral organ in Britain.
