John Prescott

Episode 3 of 20

Celebrities choose the TV moments that have shaped their lives. John Prescott talks about how his admiration for a charismatic politician influenced him in the early days.

Former deputy prime minister John Prescott joins Brian Conley on the sofa.

We find out how John's memories of the Queen's coronation were not so fond, how his admiration for a charismatic politician influenced him in those early days, and touch on a cop drama featuring one of his favourite actors, Brian Blessed. We also revisit John's surprise cameo appearance in the sitcom Gavin and Stacey. Brian even surprises John with a special piece of archive - his very first network television appearance on the world's longest-running current affairs programme.

Lord Prescott also gives us the inside track on his life in the public eye and his relationship with the political heavyweights that surrounded him whilst he was in office.
