THE latest of the Library Talks at Bowood Hotel, near Calne, brings BBC news presenter Nicholas Owen to the area next Wednesday to talk about his memoir Days Like This.

The book covers Nick’s half century working in the media and answers questions such as what is it like to front a TV programme when everything is going wrong? Or what do you ask in an interview with a Prime Minister?

Nick was ITV’s royal correspondent from 1994 to 2000, and continues today as a presenter with BBC News.

Tickets to attend the English Afternoon Tea talk and book signing at 3.30pm are £15. Call 01249 822228.
