Carol reflects on her childhood, her single mum's determination, and how a love of maths led her to study engineering at Cambridge. She also reveals the unbelievable story of how her mother secretly applied to Countdown on her behalf, forging her signature and submitting her graduation photo, setting in motion a career that would change her life forever. From her twenty-plus years on Countdown to her close friendship with the late Richard Whiteley, Carol shares hilarious behind-the-scenes stories, memories from some of television's biggest moments, and the unexpected Christmas Day episode that made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Carol and Sally also talk about the challenges of being a woman in television, standing up for yourself in a male-dominated industry, and the lessons she's learned from a career spent doing things her own way. The conversation turns to flying, fame, modern relationships and why she's never been afraid to challenge expectations.
