Sir Trevor McDonald, one of Britain's most celebrated broadcasters, discusses his memoir in conversation with Alex Preston, recalling his childhood in the Caribbean, his rich and varied journalistic career, and his life-long love of cricket, a game he thinks about as a common language between England, the West Indies and beyond – an engine of national identity and essential feature of daily life and community.

Trevor McDonald joined ITN in 1973 and became the face of News at Ten. He was knighted in 1999 for his services to journalism and has received numerous awards for his work. He has been named Newscaster of the Year three times and has received honorary degrees from at least eight universities.
