The Bolds Go Green with Julian Clary & David Roberts

Give a hoot and don’t pollute! The Bolds have decided to do their bit for the planet and go green. They’re reducing, reusing and recycling as much as they can.

Hear all about The Bolds’ foray into eco-friendly living from author and comedian Julian Clary and award-winning illustrator David Roberts. They chat to Siân Bevan today.
