Richard Fidler

Did your parents give you any advice about whether they thought you should stay or leave the island?

So while a lot of the friends around you, Blue, were making their way in finance...

You began your professional life in childcare.

And what was that atmosphere like at a girls' residential school in London?

So how did your time there come to an end, Luke?

I need friends like yours, Blue.

So tell me about the life on these yachts.

I mean, were these sort of pleasure yachts for holidaymakers, or were they racing yachts?

What was that whole world that you were a part of?

What does the job of mate entail?

So this young man working on yachts in the Caribbean and other parts of the Great Ocean, how on earth did you cross paths with Rudolf Nureyev?

And he said yes?

So what was that first experience of sailing with Nureyev, I guess, taking care of him in some sense?

What was that like?

So that might have been the end of the story.

Maybe you've got a client for your yacht in future years.

What happened for that not to be the end of the story?

Nureyev was gay and you're a handsome young man in your 20s.

Did you sense that he was interested in you romantically?

He put his tongue in your ear.
