Mardell, who lives in Banstead, Surrey, enjoyed a 25-year BBC career before leaving in 2020. He is now one of six presenters of Movers and Shakers — a popular podcast about living with Parkinson’s, co-hosted by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman. Despite the subject matter, the show is often funny, upbeat and reassuring for listeners affected by the disease.
