Workplace investigations sit at the heart of fairness, trust and accountability in organisations. But when investigations involve high-profile individuals, external parties, or allegations of serious misconduct, the scrutiny can be intense and the risks for employers multiply rapidly if fair procedures are not followed. In this episode of The HR Room Podcast, Dave and Mary are joined by Rebecca Bowman, Head of Investigations at Insight HR, to examine a recent high-profile UK case involving HarperCollins and allegations made against author David Walliams. Using what has been publicly reported about the case, they whether the investigation process itself may have been flawed and what HR leaders can learn when managing allegations involving contractors, public figures and non-employees. They unpack the principles of natural justice, the importance of fair procedures, and why speed, secrecy or outcome-driven approaches can expose organisations to legal challenge, reputational damage and loss of trust. The discussion offers practical guidance for HR professionals navigating complex investigations under intense pressure. Guest Rebecca Bowman – Head of Investigations, Insight HR   Topics include: Why workplace investigations must be handled with care — especially in high-profile cases The HarperCollins / David Walliams case and what has been publicly reported Investigating allegations involving contractors, consultants and external parties Employers' duty of care when employees interact with non-employees What “natural justice” and fair procedures mean in practice Why the right to respond is fundamental to any defensible investigation The risks of outcome-driven or rushed investigations Reputational damage caused by flawed investigation processes Protecting employee wellbeing while ensuring procedural fairness When to involve external investigators in complex or sensitive cases Key non-negotiables for a fair, impartial and robust investigation   Useful Links & Resources Media coverage of the HarperCollins / David Walliams investigation Workplace Investigation Services - Insight HR Workplace Investigations Guide - Insight HR   Get in touch If you're not already following us on LinkedIn, you can do that here.

Anna and Geoff discuss the cancellation of Adelaide Writers' Week 2026 amid the controversy after the Adelaide Festival Board disinvited Palestinian-Australian writer Dr Randa Abdel-Fatteh.  Among the authors who withdrew from Writers' Week was Richard Flanagan, who wrote this article (sorry for the paywall).  Director Louise Adler resigned with this letter to the Guardian. Since we recorded this episode, the new Board has retracted the decision and apologised to Dr Abdel-Fatteh.   In other book news, Random House has dropped David Walliams, as discussed on this episode of The Rest is Entertainment podcast.   Our book of the week is THE SAFEKEEP by Yael van der Wouden, a debut novel set in 1960s Netherlands which was shortlisted for the 2024 Booker Prize and won the 2025 Women's Prize.   Coming up: SEASCRAPER by Benjamin Wood.

David Walliams has been dropped by his publisher over alleged ‘inappropriate' behaviour.A spokesperson for Walliams said that the author had never been informed of any allegations raised against him nor was he given the opportunity to respond to questions about them. He strongly denies that he has behaved inappropriately.Walliams came to prominence starring alongside Matt Lucas in the TV series Little Britain which ran from 2003 - 2006. Critics though accused the comedy show of trading in stereotypes and casual racism. And some of that is evident in Walliam's children's books too.

Send us a textWhat if the next chapter of your creative life needed a stage you had to build yourself? We sit down with Steve Furst—comedian, actor, writer, and the man behind cabaret icon Lenny Beige—to share how an eviction notice on a beloved Hampstead room sparked Circle and Star, a new intimate theatre with a big heartbeat. From raising funds at speed to converting favours into an opening season, Steve reveals the practical playbook and the personal resolve it takes to bring a venue back to life.We dig into the why and the how: why Hampstead lost something vital when its small spaces closed, and how a modern theatre can serve both the room and the wider world with streaming, multi-cam capture, and podcast capability. Steve talks candidly about the network that rallied—Matt Lucas, David Walliams, Marcus Brigstocke—and the decision to prioritise community over hype. He also shares the quieter habits that keep him match-fit: Transcendental Meditation as a reset that sharpens presence between shows, and a habit of listening forged by a childhood steeped in classical music.Fans of character comedy will love the peek into his creative toolbox: the Hammond organ's pull (Jimmy Smith, McGriff, McDuff), the communal charge of Northern Soul, and the power of unfussy documentaries that let real people speak. We explore Lenny Beige's continuing life at Circle and Star, including a playful AI assistant voiced as Lenny's mum, and a new project re-examining Fagin—juxtaposing Dickens and Lionel Bart while wrestling with identity and representation. It's part love letter to small theatres, part field guide to building one, and wholly a testament to staying curious, collaborative, and brave.If you care about live arts, new voices, and spaces that make talent possible, this one's for you.

Santa & Son is a hilarious action adventure, and sure to become a Christmas classic.

Although he's best known for his comedy, David Walliams has a growing portfolio of children's literature. He's sold more than 60 million copies worldwide and has just released his 44th book ‘Santa & Son', just in time for Christmas. He released his first children's book in 2008, and even after 17 years and nearly 50 books, Walliams still finds writing to be a challenging task. “You're constantly scared, you think, oh my god, I'm gonna run out of ideas, or you think, oh god, this is too similar to something I've already done,” he told Mike Hosking. “The thing I try and do is move as far away as I can from something I've just done, because the thing is you just don't want to repeat yourself.” A lot of his earlier works were set contemporary Britain and revolved around schools, and after a while he found he'd run out of ways to make a teacher character work. “I can't think of any more traits that would make teachers funny,” he told Hosking. “So I thought I just have to move away from that and find different stories.” “I sort of have to make it difficult for myself just so I don't end up going down the same path.” When it comes to success, Walliams explains that he's not competitive in any major way. “I don't see other people who do what I do as sort of foes or anything,” he said. “But of course I want my book to be well-received, I want kids to enjoy it, I want it to make people happy.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That's the challenge at the heart of Michael Winterbottom's Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story, a delightfully meta take on Laurence Sterne's famously chaotic 18th-century novel The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman.In this week's episode, the Dads dive into a film that blurs every boundary — between adaptation and behind-the-scenes drama, between actor and character, and between self-awareness and outright parody. Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon play heightened versions of themselves, bickering over screen time, wardrobe choices, and (of course) who does the better impressions. Meanwhile, the “film within a film” takes us through absurd historical reenactments, disastrous prop work, and even a giant model womb.We talk about:Why Sterne's novel was considered “unfilmable” and how the movie leans into that chaos.The deliciously petty dynamic between Coogan and Brydon, and how it later set the stage for The Trip.Cameos from British comedy royalty — Stephen Fry, Dylan Moran, Mark Williams, David Walliams, and more.How the movie juggles philosophical musings, slapstick humour, and industry satire — sometimes all in the same scene.Whether the film is more fun to watch or to talk about.It's part literary experiment, part farce, and part therapy session for Steve Coogan's fragile ego. And while Tristram Shandy might not be everyone's cup of tea, there's plenty to chew on — from postmodern storytelling to the sheer joy of watching talented comedians spark off each other.If you've ever enjoyed The Trip, love films about filmmaking, or just want to hear us wrestle with a movie that refuses to play by the rules, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

David Walliams and Elton John are being blamed for wrecking a hens party in the South of France. A group of girls booked a fancy island restaurant months in advance, only to have their reservation axed 24 hours before the big night. The next day, they spotted Elton and David partying at the exact same spot — watermelon, dancing, the works — and instantly put two and two together. Furious, they flooded the comments accusing the pair of stealing their table. Honestly, the hens got ghosted by very fabulous competition.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today’s show was chaos in the best way. We kicked off with the stat that 32% of men think they could land a plane with no training, which is both hilarious and terrifying. The VMAs have revealed their first performers and the lineup is massive. Then we got into the wild story of David Walliams and Elton John allegedly ruining a hens party in the South of France. Madonna’s birthday cake had everyone talking, and finally we wrapped with a bunch of elderly legends going viral for their cheeky pickup lines, and they’re smoother than half the blokes on Tinder.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They talk about which one is which, the long genesis of their online sketch content, the BBC's reluctance to promote podcasts in 2008 or understand why radio shows needed video, why a Labour government (especially this one) does not mean the end of political satire, impressing Jeremy Vine and potentially insulting Matt Lucas and David Walliams, how Self Esteem being on a delayed train almost led to an embarrassing situation with Carol Vorderman, whether TV is a worthwhile ambition for people making their own content, is it a good idea to have children and Paul (or is it Larry) has come in with some of his own emergency questions, one of which is a little spicy.Support our Kickstarter here https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/467836598/can-i-have-my-ball-backFor Richard's remaining live stand up gigs http://richardherring.com/ballback/tourCome and see RHLSTP live http://richardherring.com/rhlstpFor Larry and Paul's videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSrVr5o27krtcuNgjR5RgdwSUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELSee extra content at our WEBSITE Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.
