18. Regent's Park with Paddy O'Connell

The idea of glimpsing lions and tigers while walking among trees in the local park may sound fantastical - but that's exactly what lucky Paddy O'Connell does every day. For this episode, the TV and radio presenter takes us along on this exclusive experience, accompanied by Bob the dog. Paddy enjoys a regular dose of nature thanks to nearby Regent's Park. Home to London Zoo and 'the most special sound in London', the park also has a lake, gardens and about 6,000 trees. We also discover how Paddy started in broadcasting, his special connection with D-Day veterans and his thoughts on presenting 'Should I be afraid of sausages?'!
