Olympic gold medallist Tom Daley is this week's Radio Times cover star

Hello! Yes, I'm back after eight weeks on the missing list. (And to respond to one reader's frightening theory, no, I wasn't lifted by the Park.)

For those who have been playing along, pick up this week's issue to see how you can enter the Sky/Netflix competition to win a fabulous package of a Sky Glass TV and free access to one of the biggest streamers.

I'd also like to thank deputy editor Alexia Skinitis for doing such a great job writing this letter in my absence. I should probably go missing more often.

Now to the business at hand - this week's issue. My mother taught me to knit and sew at an early age, and while my efforts with a pair of size 6 needles might only have resulted in a couple of fetching scarves, it has stood me in good stead over the years.

So I was excited to learn that Olympic gold medal winner Tom Daley has turned his passion for knitting into a new TV show. Read our fascinating interview with him by Simon Hattenstone inside the issue.

Elsewhere, a new series of Race across the World is always welcomed in the RT offices, so meet the celebrities who are embarking on the trip of a lifetime across central America. With so much great television and radio to read about, I can happily say it's very good to be back!
