About the Authors
Jeremy Vine is one of the UK's best-known broadcasters. He presents a weekday show on Radio 2, radio's most popular news programme. He also presents Jeremy Vine on Channel 5, a daily current affairs programme, and he fronts Eggheads, one of the longest-running quiz shows in British TV history.
Jeremy is an accomplished journalist and writer and has previously published two works of non-fiction.
He lives in Chiswick with his wife and their two daughters.
Phil Jones, born in 1958 in Wimbledon, is one of the BBC's longest-serving editors. He has worked on The Jeremy Vine Show (and its predecessor The Jimmy Young Show) for 30 years, and thought up the What Makes Us Human? feature when he was cycling back from a party while drunk.
