Career: Bakewell eventually returned to work in the early 1960s, and quickly made a name for herself thanks to numerous arts, travel and current affairs programmes. TV's Late Night Line Up made her a national pin-up. Since then she's presented the religious affairs programme Heart of the Matter, written radio plays, published numerous books and become one of the BBC's most respected broadcasters. She currently presents Something Understood for BBC Radio 4 and Belief for BBC Radio 3 and continues to write articles for various newspapers. Her autobiography, The Centre of the Bed, was published in 2004, which hit the headlines thanks to its account of her affair with playwright Harold Pinter, which inspired his 1978 play Betrayal. Her first novel, All the Nice Girls, came out in 2009.

Career: Mangan became a regular on the West End stage, and apart from some foreign adverts, steered clear of TV work for years. He made his film debut in Martha, Meet Frank, Daniel and Laurence in 1998, and had a small role in Billy Elliot. Early TV appearances came in Big Bad World, Sword of Honour, In Defence and Human Remains before his big break as the lead in Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years. He's worked consistently in movies and on TV ever since, with roles in Jane Hall, Marple, Never Better, I'm Alan Partridge, Hyperdrive, and the acclaimed Green Wing. His recent work includes Dirk Gently and Episodes on TV, as well as several well-received stage performances.

Career: Sophie began her music career in 1997, as lead singer for Theaudience. They split in 1998, and two years later Sophie released a single with Italian DJ Spiller that would make her a household name (Groovejet). Then followed her debut album, Read My Lips, and various top 20 hit singles. Sophie has since become an advocate for animal rights, a well-respected DJ and, for a while, was the face of Rimmel. Her fourth studio album was released in April 2011. In September 2013, she became a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing.

Career: After deciding to become an actor, Lester attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. On graduating, he began a successful stage career. He made his film debut in 1991's Touch and Die. TV parts and little-seen movies followed, before he landed a lead role in 1998's Primary Colors alongside John Travolta and Emma Thompson. However, despite Lester's first opportunity to shine in such an impressive Hollywood movie, he failed to capitalise on it - though he eventually returned to acting a year later in TV movie Storm Damage. Since then he's enjoyed several successful stage runs, as well as appearances in films Love's Labours Lost (2000), Maybe Baby (2000) and The Day After Tomorrow (2004), but TV's Hustle remains his most famous project to date. He took time out from the show in 2006, but made a triumphant return to the role in 2009 until the series ended in 2012. In 2013, he played the title role in Othello at the National Theatre. He had a recurring role on short-lived American teen drama Red Band Society. In 2016, he starred in TV mini-series Undercover.
