You Only Live Once

Comedy king Nick Hancock takes his guests on an intimate journey which turns to candid confessions. He takes on some British public life's heavyweights to, including Mo Mowlam, Mohammed Al Fayed and Edwina Currie, on whirlwind tour of their careers, acquaintances, colleagues and love-lives!

Fun, entertaining and surprising, Nick gets more than he bargained for as he takes his guests down memory lane, good or bad! If you thought Parkie was good, then you'll love Nick's upfront and bold style with a welcome handful of comedy.

Little Mo aka Dr Marjorie Mowlam
Before Eastenders, we already had another Little Mo. One of the UK's most high-profile and best-loved politicians, Mo will be remembered for her role in the Northern Ireland peace process and seeing through the Good Friday Agreement.

Mo is without a doubt, a woman who provokes empathy: from a childhood blighted by alcoholic parents to studying in the USA and being nominated as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Westminster as well as her fight against a brain tumour. Her courage and strength have been an inspiration to thousands, and to top it all off, she has a great sense of humour!

Big Mo aka Mohamed Al Fayed
Best known as the extremely wealthy and ostentatious owner of famed Knightsbridge store Harrods. Al Fayed has had his fair share of the limelight. As well as owning Fulham football club, he is also the father of Dodi Fayed who was with the late Princess Diana on that fateful night.

The Egyptian billionaire has been attempting to get British citizenship for years but various scandals associated to his name probably aren't helping his cause. Fayed is often in the headlines and is the number one conspiracy theorist when it comes to Dodi and Diana's death...

Edwina Currie
Recently seen on Hell's Kitchen, this one-time Tory government minister is a force to be reckoned with. Born in Liverpool, educated at Oxford and LSE, Edwina is a dedicated Conservative. Having served in Margaret Thatcher's government from 1986-88, she resigned in December 1988 over the salmonella crisis, and turned down John Major's offer to return to government in 1992.

After that Edwina became a full time author, publishing ten books to date. Her books include non fiction, diaries and novels. By 1997, a new career beckoned with the BBC as she hosted her own radio show: "Late Night Currie." Having then appeared in "Currie Night" on HTV it was a natural step to "Hell's Kitchen".

Nick Hancock
Nick moved into TV presenting from teaching. A major change of career that quickly led him to present the likes of ultra popular chat shows such as They Think it's All Over and Room 101. When asked about the highlight of his career Nick says: "The thing that has given me the most pleasure was getting together with a group of mates and writing and performing a play An Evening with Gary Lineker which started off in a tiny little studio and ended up in the West End.

"It is always a dream for something like that to happen but you never really believe that you will end up in the West End!"

Skeletons in the closet
Nick Hancock has a tough task. It's easy enough chatting away to high profile guests about their latest career move but what's it like trying to share unsavoury moments with them and the world at large? From a civilised chat to a colourful discussion, it's easy to offend or take a wrong turn.

Nick balances it all with the finesse of a best man on his best behaviour, while he brings up some of his guests biggest faux-pas and most embarrassing moments. An affair with the Prime Minister anyone? Watch as they cringe or admire their aplomb!
