Clare Balding – Isle of Dogs

It’s always a joy to welcome a ‘national treasure’, and in Clare Balding we certainly have one as she joins us to share her love for our canine friends. National stories are often told through our politics and through our monarchy, but Clare’s is a tale of how Britain is shaped by its dogs and how they form such an intrinsic part in so many of our lives.

Clare Balding is the award-winning writer and broadcaster who has been at the forefront of sports presentation since 1998. She was awarded a special BAFTA in 2012 for her work at the London Olympics and Paralympics.
