Summary

This week, we’re in London’s St James’s Park with Luke Evans!

Raymond and Luke pretty much fell in love with each other from the moment they met - Ray spent the entire walk cradled in Luke’s arms… lucky Raymond, eh?!

Growing up, Luke had a collection of cats and an aviary of birds with his parents, who were Jehovah’s Witnesses. He opens up about how that affected his childhood, and how it feels to have written about it in his autobiography. He tells us how he came to terms with his sexuality in a religion which had no tolerance for homosexuality, and his rather brilliant grandma!

You can get your copy of Luke’s brilliant book Boy From The Valleys here!

0:39.5	This episode of Walking the Dog is brought to you by Global Children's Charity, Plan International UK, and their winter appeal.
0:46.2	You might not know this, but 40% of girls globally don't finish secondary school.
0:51.8	Poverty, conflict and discrimination all stand in the way.
0:55.8	But despite everything, girls are still determined to learn. Every girl deserves the chance to learn,
1:01.5	to read, to make friends and to finish school. So it's heartbreaking that this isn't the case
1:06.5	for many girls around the world. Together, we can match girls' determination and create change so that
1:13.4	every girl can take a seat in the classroom and stay there, no matter who or where they are,
1:18.8	even in poverty, even in war. I was actually really shocked to discover just how much the odds are
1:24.8	still stacked against girls when it comes to education.
1:33.4	129 million girls are forced out of school worldwide due to obstacles beyond their control.
1:38.7	And it's so vital that all girls get access to learning because finishing your education gives you the freedom to create the life you want. And every woman deserves the right to shape
