Sue Cook Hasn't Pulled Out! | Peter Purves, Doctor Who and Blue Peter Legend, Meets Sue Cook
About this episode
Peter Purves interviews Sue Cook, reminiscing about their time together and her influential career in broadcasting.
Our guest today is one of Britain's most recognisable broadcasters. From Nationwide and Breakfast Time to Crimewatch and Children in Need, my friend Sue Cook became one of the defining faces of BBC television and famously "Pulled Out" from an Afternoon with Alan Partridge. There hangs a tale.. Before all that, Sue and I shared a very happy time presenting together on We're Going Places, so there's plenty to reminisce about, and a few twists and turns in Sue's remarkable life that will keep you listening to the very end. The Peter Purves Podcast brings you great conversations with the people who shaped Britain's television landscape, hosted by Doctor Who and Blue Peter legend Peter Purves.
