This is the result of my visit to Chez Bonington earlier this week. The BBC Cumbria team has done a great job, combining Mike Zeller's interview with archive photos and footage. Lovely!

It was a pleasure to meet Sir Chris and chat to him about his extraordinary life. Watch this 👇 there's some wonderful archive footage!

👇 what Andrew said!

Thanks Andrew! Catch you in the morning!

Really appreciate this, cheers Andrew! 👇

And where it continued....

Three were called Paul. I remained Mike....

Still am. But I don't own any of the clothing worn, or indeed much of the hair worn....

Thanks Andrew...really appreciate this 👇

The place where it all started for me.
