JOURNALISM students from Darlington College were given the chance to hone their interview skills with a star of the stage and small screen.
Peter Duncan, who is perhaps best known as a Blue Peter presenter, began his acting career in the 1970s and went on to star in scores of stage shows.
He received an Olivier nomination for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance as Denry Machin in The Card and was happy to share his professional experiences with college students studying to become qualified journalists.
Mr Duncan will be back on the stage next week as Jack Firebrace in Birdsong which runs at Darlington Civic Theatre from Tuesday, March 10 to Saturday, March 14.
Tickets are priced from £17.
