EVERY SO OFTEN, you meet someone who exceeds all expectations. Patrick Stewart is just such a person, being at once funny, charming and a terrific actor—as demonstrated by his left-of-field performance in new thriller Green Room (warning: it’s not for the faint hearted). You can read my chat with him on p22. This issue is also a celebration of heroes: in the form of firefighters and their diverse roles on p58; and the amazing Peter Bowker on p78, who managed to cross the Greenland ice cap unassisted despite losing a leg in Afghanistan. Laurence Kemball-Cook might also qualify for the title soon—his scheme to harness the energy from footsteps has truly revolutionary potential. Find out more on p112. Finally, no discussion of colourful personalities is complete without mentioning Nicholas Parsons. Now in his 93rd year, Nicholas looks back on his amazing broadcasting career—including five decades helming BBC’s Just a Minute—on p30. Enjoy!
