Peter joins Genevieve to reminisce about making classic movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and his starring role as Charlie Bucket.
He talks about working with Gene Wilder, the problem with everlasting gobstoppers, his burping double and the amazing legacy of the film.
Pete explains why he decided to quit acting after making the movie and was reluctant to talk about his involvement for a long time - and instead switched careers to become a vet.
Plus he gives his verdict on the latest Wonka film and reveals his new baby grand-daughter's sweet Wonka-inspired name.
