John Yorke is one of the world's leading lights in the art of storytelling.

He is also the author of Into The Woods, one of our favourite books on the craft of storytelling.
While storytelling isn't the automatic answer to every kind of ‘dull', if we're going to learn how to tell more interesting stories we should learn from the best. John Yorke founded the BBC Studio Writer's Academy after a career that included being Head of Channel4 Drama and Controller of BBC Drama Production, working on and producing some of the world's most widely viewed and critically acclaimed TV drama, from EastEnders to Shameless, Life on Mars and Wolf Hall.

In this special preview of the BBC Radio 4 series Opening Lines, John Yorke looks at Patrick Hamilton's 1938 stage play Gaslight. To hear more episodes from the series, just search for Opening Lines on BBC Sounds.A big hit on London's Shaftesbury Avenue and an even bigger success on Broadway, Patrick Hamilton's drama of the mental abuse of Bella Manningham by her husband Jack lives on, sometimes unacknowledged, as the source of the term Gaslighting - one person's attempt to make another doubt their sanity. Best known for his novels such as Hangover Square and The Slaves of Solitude, Hamilton drew on his own miserable childhood memories of being terrified of his own abusive father for this taut, chilling thriller. John Yorke has worked in television and radio for nearly 30 years, and he shares his experience with Radio 4 listeners as he unpacks the themes and impact of the books, plays and stories that are being dramatised on BBC Radio 4. From EastEnders to the Archers, Life on Mars to Shameless, he has been obsessed with telling big popular stories. He has spent years analysing not just how stories work but why they resonate with audiences around the globe and has brought together his experience in his bestselling book Into the Woods. As former Head of Channel Four Drama, Controller of BBC Drama Production and MD of Company Pictures, John has tested his theories during an extensive production career working on some of the world's most lucrative, widely viewed and critically acclaimed TV drama. As founder of the hugely successful BBC Writers Academy John has trained a generation of screenwriters (his students have had 17 green-lights in the last two years alone).

Many companies are communicating 30 - 40 years out of date. But by bringing more emotion and humanness to your language, your company's values and ‘soul' can be brought to the center stage. To learn more about telling stories, I am joined by Anthony Tasgal – Trainer, Author, Speaker, Strategist and Lecturer. In this conversation, Tas talks candidly about what drew him to the art of storytelling and what we can learn from some of the great masters of communication like Pericles and Nelson Mandela. We also explore the power of personality, the problems with business cliches and jargon, the ‘Pratfall' Effect, and some of his practical tricks of storytelling that you can start with today.

Jo is the author of the Penny Dreadful series and the Rachel Riley books, and we discuss the importance of funny books for children, and her tips on how to write them. I think her partnership with Chris Hoy and the illustrator Clare Elsom in the Flying Fergus series is the model for celebrity publishing, so listen out. It can be done well! We discuss the habit of writing, the accountability of Zoom writing sessions in lockdown – highly recommended, even now – and getting your book made into a BAFTA-winning TV show. Does it change your life? Am I talking to Jo as she lounges by her pool in the South of France? What are the average hourly earnings for writers, by the way? When we spoke, Jo's latest adult novel, The Talk of Pram Town, was about to be launched. I absolutely loved this book. It's set between the 1980s of the royal wedding, and the late 1960s, telling the story of Jean, her runaway daugther Connie and her daughter Sadie. When Connie dies, Jean takes her granddaughter back to Harlow in Essex, where Connie grew up. I think of it as a story of Essex, sex and secrets. It's heartbreaking and funny and true. Jo's prose is brilliant and her dialogue is spot on. It didn't get the launch it deserved because of lockdown, so do look out for it.

In 2014 an anonymous letter was sent to journalists detailing a 5 step plan to Islamise schools in Birmingham. The so-called Trojan Horse Affair sparked hundreds of articles and several investigations. But the letter was not all it seemed. The Corrections asks, what was going on behind the headlines? Presenter Jo Fidgen speaks to key players, reporters and media watchers about how the coverage measured up to the reality. How did a local education story become a national security issue? And what dilemmas do journalists face when in receipt of an anonymous tip-off? In a 3-part series, Jo explores how two incompatible narratives developed; how the controversial word ‘extremism’ entered the fray; and what the affair revealed about Britishness. Narrative consultant John Yorke is on hand to explain how storytelling techniques possibly influenced the direction the Trojan Horse story took, and why – in the end – we hear only the version that supports our tribe.
