Episode description
Kirsty Young's castaway is the interviewer Lynn Barber.
A master of the profile interview, her razor-sharp observations have earned her the nickname the Demon Barber and won her a stack of awards. Although critics say her articles are hatchet jobs, she disagrees: "I think that people are well served by quite blunt or quite rude questions because it forces them to fight back and come back strongly," she says.
Producer: Leanne Buckle
