Category: Random 19

The Random 19 section in the BV magazine is a light hearted question and answer column. Every month a locally-connected celebrity or well-known public figure is put under the microscope with some serious questioning. Such in-depth questions face them as ‘What was the last gift you gave someone?’ or the even-more taxing ‘which is the best biscuit for dunking?’

Seriously fun, and often quite insightful, the Random 19 questions column has had some famous guests: Noteable names that have taken part include Minette Walters, Mark Hix, Val Singleton (yes she of Blue Peter) and Beverley Craven. Tell me you remember Beverley? Her big hit was ‘Promise Me’?

Every month this column is filled with someone new and interesting. Always fun and sure to delight, a great read.
