George Alagiah
Colombo-born George Alagiah is familiar to millions as a BBC journalist and newscaster and, more recently, as a figurehead for cancer patients and campaigner for improved cancer screening. He is the author of two memoirs charting his family story and the process of becoming an Englishman: A Passage to Africa and A Home from Home: from Immigrant Boy to English Man but has now turned novelist with his well-received thriller of murky dealings in post-apartheid South Africa, The Burning Land. George will be in conversation with a fellow star of the BBC, Petroc Trelawny, presenter of Radio 3's Breakfast and author of an upcoming memoir on his Cornish boyhood and enduring love of trains.
