In Confidence

Conducting probing interviews as only he can, Laurie Taylor chats with colourful, controversial and outspoken celebrities, grilling them on their moments of joy and tragedy, mistakes and successes, and the flaws and strengths that have defined their lives. "This is television for people who don't like their meat being cut up for them", says the sociologist. Among the guests Taylor has interrogated are Damien Hirst, Lily Allen, Richard Dawkins, David Starkey and Ann Widdecombe.
