Sir Trevor McDonald is one of our country’s most celebrated journalists and news presenters.  

He rose from a poor childhood in Trinidad, to cover the biggest stories of our times - and became one of the most famous people in Britain while he was at it. It’s a unique story and in part one of our conversation we talk to Sir Trevor about what his childhood taught him and how an aspirational family environment prepared him for an extraordinary career.

Part two of our conversation is out on Thursday 28th March.
