TED and TEDx events are celebrated the world over. They bring together interesting, informative and entertaining speakers to talk to a specific theme. The idea started back in 1984 but it really took off in 1990; it's been held annually since then. TED's early emphasis was on technology and design, consistent with its Silicon Valley origins but has since spread to a wide range of other topics.

This year's theme in Portobello was 'Restart the Machine'. It involved a group of nine speakers - some local, some from much further afield - to talk about how the direction of their lives had been dramatically changed...and how they coped. For copyright reasons, we weren't allowed to record any of the talks - but we could talk to the speakers afterwards. This episode is about their stories.
