Charlie Higson - You're Booked

Charlie Higson - You're Booked

By Daisy Buchanan

This week we are delighted to present a funny, freewheeling conversation with author, actor, podcaster and comedy legend Charlie Higson! As well as co-creating The Fast Show and Down the Line, adapting Marple and Jekyll and Hyde for TV, hosting the Charlie Higson & Friends podcast and popping up in Broadchurch, he's the author of many books including the hugely successful Young Bond and The Enemy series. His latest is the sweet and hilarious kids book Worst Holiday Ever. We talked to him about Fungus, Octopi, Bond, diaries and Samuel Beckett’s influence on the Fast Show.
