Summary
Lights, Camera, Action... today we're joined by British Film Critic, Presenter and Author James King.
Some would call James the KING of Movies, but we like to call him the King of RUNNING!
Running is something James does to get his much-needed alone time, and it also helps him put pen to paper - something very integral to his job.
This episode will inspire you to run like you're in Mission Impossible, or maybe Rocky and Bay Watch! You may also get a sudden craving for green apples...
Granny Smith anyone?
