Now for those of you who don't know, not only is Robert Murphy one of my colleagues where I work as a journalist at ITV West Country, he is also my husband too.

And I'm not going to lie - this was a step out of our comfort zone - putting him (and a little bit me) under the interviewee spotlight.

But I've known the story behind Rob's book and I wanted him to share it with you. Because in a world obsessed with the number of followers we have or algorithms or needing to have big plans and huge teams of people - this is a story of trust. It's the story of a small number of close relationships which created one of the most watched dramas of the year - at the time of recording it's had more than 23 million views.

"Just try something quietly, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work, sometimes it doesn't, but sometimes it does."

Now, today’s guest is someone I’m delighted to welcome back. The wonderful Bill Ward.

Bill started his career in advertising with Saatchi & Saatchi before following his passion for acting. You’ll know him as Charlie Stubbs in Coronation Street and James Barton in Emmerdale, and he’s currently touring in The Shawshank Redemption.

But there’s another side to Bill we didn’t fully explore last time—his photography. He’s an award-winning photographer and was named Landscape Photographer of the Year. His latest book, Immersive, captures the raw beauty and power of the ocean—a project four years in the making.

It’s a joy to have him back—and he shares some brilliant insights on building a life around your passions.
