Philippa Perry @Philippa_Perry talks to @GylesB1 about the mistakes well-meaning parents make in this week's fascinating edition of Rosebud. "Comfort, don't scold, your children into happiness". This episode is full of insightful wisdom, as you might expect. It's out today!

Gyles tells Harriet about the time he met Cliff Richard for the first time, on Lord Longford's Pornography Commission in 1971. If only @gylesb1 had followed Michèle's advice and started on the Oil of Olay back then, he'd still look as good as Sir Cliff today.

Lee Mack shocks @gylesb1 with some revelations about celebrity horses in last Friday's edition of Rosebud. #rosebudpodcast #redrum #shergar #championthewonderhorse #leemack #gylesbrandreth

Lee Mack tells @gylesb1 about his teenage side hussle selling horse manure door-to-door. But it wasn't just any old horse manure.... A brilliant edition of Rosebud, out today. #leemack #gylesbrandreth #rosebudpodcast #redrum #horses

Which leadership quality did Churchill think was the most important? Courage: mainly physical, but also moral. "He put himself always in positions of great danger". Do our leaders today have courage? It's an interesting question! #churchill #ww2 #rosebudpodcast

Sir Nicholas Soames tells @gylesb1 about the routine his grandpa, Winston Churchill, devised during the war. He'd get up at 10, go to a cabinet meeting at 11, have lunch, & then get into his pyjamas and go to bed for 2 and a half hours. He'd then work until 3am the next morning.

Petula Clark tells Gyles about the moment she discovered she had made only £500 from her career as a child star. Petula's memoir "Is That You, Petula?" is out now and is highly recommended. #childstar #petulaclark #gylesbrandreth #rosebudpodcast

Absolutely loved this. Petula Clark tells @GylesB1 about her amazing life. Can't believe she's nearly 93 ! Amazing ☺️ 💜 🎶 @therosebudpod https://t.co/5YHuuxREsT

Lovely, thanks @Halewrites!

Petula Clark sings @GylesB1 the first ever song she sang on stage, when she was a little girl - "Mighty Like a Rose". This was the moment she was discovered, in the middle of WWII, and her career has endured ever since. She's going to be 93 next week.

The question is: do you secretly love it when your partner/husband/wife is out of the house? Or do you miss them, and prefer it when they're home? Look how delighted Gyles is when he finds out Michèle's answer! Adorable. #toomuchofagoodthing #gylesbrandreth #rosebudpodcast

If you haven’t listened to the @therosebudpod with @gylesb1 and his amazing variety of guests I urge to do listen. You will be hooked from the outset.

Yippee! It's for another instalment of @GylesB1's diaries, and this week we're joined by Gyles's wife, Michèle, again. We've reached the second half of 1970, and the young couple are looking for a flat. #diaries #gylesbrandreth #rosebudpodcast #muswellhill
