The unique conversation show, Living The Life returns to Sky Arts for a third series with another fascinating line up of guests. Celebrity guests include Elliott Gould, Twiggy, Derren Brown, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Dave Stewart, Lord Archer and Marianne Faithfull. Living the Life will airs on Wednesdays at 8pm on Sky Arts 1 HD and Sky Go.
In tonight's episode, Andrew Lloyd Webber stops by and chats about his musical history. He revealed: "My father became Director of the London College of Music. He was a composer himself he came from a working class background and in those days if you won scholarships to music colleges like he did it was considered beneath the family if you went into the kind of music that I do... (my father) would have been a very good film score composer." Tune in tonight to watch the full interview.
Breaking away from the traditional interview formula, Living the Life pairs the participants together without an interviewer, leaving them free to discuss a broad range of subjects. In each hour long episode, the pair share their life experiences covering their careers, childhoods and their successes and failures.
Across the series, we hear Elliott Gould and Dave Stewart discuss how their upbringing impacted their careers, and their professional and personal relationships with Barbra Streisand and Annie Lennox. Susan George and Robert Lindsay discuss their devastation at the loss of loved ones, whilst Hans Zimmer and Derren Brown share their surprise at how their careers turned out to be far more evolved than they ever anticipated. Later on, we hear about the common ground shared between Twiggy and Elaine Paige, from growing up in North London to the phenomenal achievements in their careers.
James Hunt, Director of Sky Arts, says "Living The Life returns to Sky Arts with another formidable line up of guests. Its unique interview style brings our customers closer to the legends we all admire with unmissable results."
Living the Life was produced by Backdoor Productions and was executively produced by RoseMary Reed and co-produced and directed by Jules Williams.
RoseMary Reed adds, "Living The Life, now in its third series, has evolved yet again to another level of intimacy and insight between our legendary pairings."
Living The Life starts Wednesday 2nd October 8pm on Sky Arts 1 HD and Sky Go
