Welcome to In the Room with Ronnie Barbour. In this series we'll be talking to politicians, youtubers, sports stars and more about the defining moments of their lives. From the classroom, to the boardroom, the briefing room, the dressing room and more, we'll find out how the rooms of our lives shape the decisions we make.

In this episode, Sir David King, Chair of the Independent Sage group, and former Chief Scientific Advisor to Gordon Brown and Tony Blair. Now, obviously there was alot to talk about in terms of our current situation, but we also look at how he dealt with the foot and mouth epidemic and we find out how his interest in science was first peaked.

A word of caution, we recorded this interview in October before the government announced the latest lockdown.
