Matthew Bannister on the American civil rights activist Patricia Stephens Due who went to prison after entering a "whites only" lunch counter in Florida. The tabloid royal correspondent James Whitaker, who broke the news of Princess Diana's eating disorder. The racehorse trainer Josh Gifford who stood by jockey Bob Champion when he contracted cancer and gave him his fairy tale Grand National win on Aldaniti. The Communist party member and writer Jim Riordan who was once called up to play football for Spartak Moscow. And Whitney Houston in her own words and music.
