Jon Richardson: I may switch jobs now I've found love

Ben Dowell, Radio Times, 15th September 2014Jon Richardson and Matt Forde interview
In a new series for Channel 4, Jon Richardson Grows Up, our eponymous hero and his best friend, comedian Matt Forde, take to the road in a 1972 orange VW Campervan (called Florence) in search of answers to some of life's biggest questions: Can money make you happy? Is marriage the source of contentment or discord? Who's a better driver, Jon or Matt? Today, huddled in the back of their campervan, Florence, incongruously parked in a central London square, the pair explain the thinking behind the series, how it has led to Jon being a changed man, and what Matt was doing there in the first place.
