The big (Prostate) C.

SIMON BRYER. Things to do before you dye.

Touchy subject, hair. So we felt around and found a charmer. Simon Briar, principal stylist at Michael Van Clarke, one of London’s most prestigious salons for over 35 years. Steeped in a world of style consciousness and high fashion yet grounded as a Southern league kit man. Want to feel relaxed about going Grey and receding? Here’s a man who knows how to do (And does) both with easy acceptance and panache.

JAMIE LUCAS. A picture of ageing.

Our first look at ageing men from a young man’s POV…Photographer/videographer, Jamie Lucas (Cover: With David Bailey). At 25, he’s travelled the world, worked up close with the greatest legends of rock n roll and he’s now doing the same with the most magnificent beasts of the jungle. How does unflinching youth view the transitional life stage us fathers and boomers are now approaching? A time for timidity and tameness? Perhaps not.

OLIVER MARKS. Restoration. A Restorative?

Grew up in Coventry in the heyday of the British car industry. Built a career in tech in Silicon Valley, California. After a chance encounter with an old E-type, now finds himself surrounded by automotive projects, half American and half Jaguars from his native city, all of them “a work in progress”. What drives him? Well, it’s not about getting there. The satisfaction, the pleasure, the meaning, is in the journey. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Henry Naylor. Tiring of satire.

Does our response to events in the world around us change as we get older? We speak to Henry Naylor – From Spitting Image to ‘Finding Bin Laden’, from celebrated comedy scriptwriter to highly praised, thought provoking playwright. We discuss how Henry’s approach to ‘putting the world to rights’ has changed over the years and why. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
