    INTERVIEW: STEVIE BROWN


    I'm 62 now, and have got to a stage where I feel comfortable with my
    life and confident in myself. To relax, I go in the garden with my
    wife - she likes gardening; I sit in a deckchair and soak up the rays.

    I smoke a packet of cigarettes a day, started when I was 14 or
    15. I've thought about giving up, especially at my age when you get
    wheezy. It's a fool's game.

    To be on form when filming, I'm in bed by 8.30pm. I am bloody tired
    after a day in front of the cameras, and I can be filming for 10 to 15
    days straight.

    I am conscious of keeping my appearance smart, but not in an
    egotistical way. I go on holiday as many times as I can. I have olive
    skin as my grandfather is Armenian, and when I spend a week in the
    sun, it stays for a couple of months. It's not from a bottle. Sipping
    a cool drink, sitting around the pool, I am happy.

    David Dickinson presents BBC's Bargain Hunt. His autobiography, The
    Duke: What a Bobby Dazzler (BBC Books), is out now.
