Sandi joins Brian on the sofa in his vintage sitting room to talk about the lengths she went to in order to watch Top of the Pops, why the television coverage of the moon landings has such a special place in her heart and why on earth she was so disturbed by the nation's favourite stuffed fox, Basil Brush.

They talk about the classic British programmes which helped her understand the UK when she moved here in her teens, from the eccentric British public in That's Life to the vagaries of the class system in The Good Life. Brian discovers how all these TV influences came together to bring her to screens for the first time in the kids' show Number 73 and finds out whether she can still play the sandwich game.
