Major public figures go back to their beginnings and uncover where they really startedJohn Wilson (acclaimed arts and culture reporter and journalist, and presenter of Front Row, Newsnight Review and Pick of the Week) meets up with a variety of public figures from such diverse fields as food, mathematics, politics, writing and music, and takes them back to the influential schools, teachers, and early workplaces they may have forgotten, but which have not forgotten them. His guests include the first Black trade union leader, Lord Bill Morris; classical violinist Tasmin Little; the late restaurateur and television chef, Gary Rhodes; Lord Digby Jones, former Minister of State for Trade and Investment; the late Women''s Prize and Costa Book Award winning author, Andrea Levy; veteran journalist, broadcaster and former politician Michael Portillo, and many more. The locations too are widely varied and richly formative - from car component manufacturers and specialist vocational institutions to grammar and private schools. Top of the Class is a fascinating look beneath the usual façade of a public figure, perfect for anyone wanting to see the human face behind a successful life story, as well as the teachers, mentors, best friends and rivals who helped them grow into the person they became.Episode guideFirst broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on the following dates:Bill Morris 28 July 2008Tasmin Little 4 August 2008Lauren Child 11 August 2008Gary Rhodes 18 August 2008 Marcus du Sautoy 28 December 2010Rachel Portman 18 January 2011Lord Digby Jones 25 January 2011 Michael Portillo 19 July 2011Andrea Levy 26 July 2011Production creditsPresented by John Wilson Produced by Sarah Taylor © 2022 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd.
