Episode notes

Seven years ago, the BBC TV presenter and journalist George Alagiah was diagnosed with bowel cancer.

The prognosis wasn't good, and he was told to get his affairs in order.

George speaks movingly and frankly about coping with the knowledge that his life and relationships will be cut short, and what living in the shadow of a terrible disease has helped him appreciate.
