The Talks interview
Kingsley gives an interview to The Talks. He discusses what being a sir means to him, being in front of the camera, and why he got a chicken.
I like the sound. I’ve got quite a lot of land at home in the Oxfordshire countryside. She is wired off so the foxes can’t get her and I like the sound. She is a very sweet little animal. She is really nice, quite a developed personality. She gets very exited when I walk up to her, she starts running up and down.

Standing here today amongst you is one of the many things I thought growing up in England that would never happen to me.
