Famous faces revisit their former homes to share memories and secrets from when they lived there. Broadcaster and journalist Janet Street Porter revisits the castle she built in the heart of London and reveals what she loves to do most at her home in Yorkshire. Janet Street Porter was born Janet Bull in December 1946. Her parents owned a house in Parsons Green in west London. Janet's childhood home is the first stop on the journey through her property ladder. She recalls Parsons Green was a ‘completely working class area' then and her electrical engineer dad and school dinner lady mum could only afford to live in half the house. Janet explains that apart from the bedroom she shared with her sister at the back of the first floor, the remainder of the two upper levels was rented out to another family. This included the only bathroom, so Janet washed and bathed in the kitchen. Her parent's bedroom was on the ground floor – where today the former bedroom and living room have been knocked into one open plan space. It is the kitchen that provokes many memories of the family life she hated so much. She thought ‘you can't be my real parents. They just seemed like stone age people' and ‘I thought my real parents would come along and get me – that my mother had picked up the wrong baby in the nursing home'. She recalls life revolving around the radio, as it did for many people in the 1950's (in 1957 only half of all homes owned a television). Janet used to listen to Uncle Mac's Children's Favourites and wondered why ‘all the requests were for posh kids' and she used to think ‘no one's ever called Janet on this show. They've always got nice names – like Jennifer'. As a young teenager Janet spent as much time as she could in the local library which was round the corner, or the museums in Kensington that were a short bus ride away. Just when Janet thought teenage life couldn't get any worse her dad announced they were selling up and moving to Perivale
