My guest today is Louise Doughty, the woman behind some of the knottiest thrillers to grace our bookshelves and TV screens in recent years. Her bestseller, Apple Tree Yard about a sensible middle aged woman who makes a very unsensible decision (involving sex in the house of commons!) sold over half a million copies and was turned into a smash hit BBC series starring Emily Watson. She was also the brains behind the breathtaking BBC drama Crossfire that starred Keeley Hawes.  Of course What you don't hear, is that Apple Tree Yard was Louise's 7th novel, catapulting her to “the big time” at the age of 50. Her latest book, A Bird In Winter, looks set to continue that trajectory. Think The 39 steps if the lead was an extremely resourceful 50something woman on the run. Louise joined me to talk about how her “overnight” success at 50” transformed her life (mainly she finally started a pension!) And why it's still considered controversial when middle aged women have sex! We also discussed surviving the menopause-puberty collision, the unrealised fury - and potential - of the middle aged woman and the power and importance of realising you're not for everyone. And that's fine.

This week, Jacki and Lyle are back with a follow-up to their preview of the Netflix film, Scoop, starring Gillian Anderson, Billie Piper and Rufus Sewell. Based on the book of the same name by Sam McAlister, played by Piper, this Netflix drama did not disappoint as it recreated the story of one of the most notorious television interviews in history - Emily Maitlis and her interview with Prince Andrew regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and allegations of sexual abuse towards young women being trafficked by Epstein. Jacki and Lyle both praise the fantastic performances of the central cast, with Anderson as Maitlis, Piper as McAlister, Sewell as Prince Andrew and Keeley Hawes as Andrew's private secretary Amanda Thirsk all drawing particular acclaim. Jacki asks for Lyle's opinion on how Maitlis' character was depicted in the film, before assessing how Andrew represents what many in the PR industry would describe as a 'problematic client', with reference to his insistence on going about things his own way rather than listen to experts around him. Lyle draws comparisons between how it would appear McAlister obtained this interview and how Martin Bashir secured his interview with Diana, with the former seemingly working with Andrew's team to help them towards what they felt was the best course of action, and the latter having recently been found to have used manipulative tactics to coerce the then Princess of Wales into being interviewed. Jacki ultimately questions, with reference to the Netflix drama, why the Palace elected to press ahead with the Newsnight interview with little to none of their own conditions put in place, with Lyle asking whether this can be considered a turning point in securing the future of the programme itself.Artwork by DimosoMusic by Lyle FultonGet in touch via lyle@dimoso.com or info@dimoso.comMore information at www.dimoso.com and www.therestispr.comFollow us on Twitter - @TheRestIsPR Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of Nerd's Talking The Podcast, we delve into the intriguing world of journalism and scandal with our review of the new Netflix film, "Scoop." Directed by Philip Martin, this British biographical drama takes us behind the scenes of one of the most controversial interviews in recent memory. "Scoop" stars an impressive cast including Gillian Anderson, Keeley Hawes, Billie Piper, and Rufus Sewell. The film tells the gripping story of how the women of "Newsnight" secured Prince Andrew's infamous 2019 interview about his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The screenplay by Peter Moffat and Geoff Bussetil is adapted from the 2022 book "Scoops: Behind the Scenes of the BBC's Most Shocking Interviews" by former Newsnight editor Sam McAlister. The interview, described as the "scoop of the decade," became the public catalyst for the downfall of Prince Andrew. It focused on Andrew's relationship with Epstein and allegations of sexual assault of a minor. The film provides a dramatic retelling of the negotiation process between the women of "Newsnight" and Buckingham Palace, highlighting the challenges they faced in securing the interview. Described as more than just a car crash but "a plane crashing into an oil tanker, causing a tsunami, triggering a nuclear explosion," the interview had far-reaching implications for the royal family and the British monarchy. Join us as we discuss the performances, the storytelling, and the impact of "Scoop" in this episode of Nerd's Talking The Podcast. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nerdstalking/support

L'histoire vraie de John Stonehouse, ministre britannique devenu espion à la solde de la Tchécoslovaquie pendant la guerre froide. Cette minisérie emprunte les codes de la comédie absurde pour retracer avec malice le parcours d'un menteur pathologique interprété par Matthew Macfadyen. L'histoire est racontée en marche arrière, puis que les premières scènes s'ouvrent sur John Stonehouse qui simule sa propre mort en 1974 en quittant ses vêtements sur une plage de Miami. Au fil de la série, on découvre ses déboires financiers, son implication dans l'espionnage pour le gouvernement tchécoslovaque et ses tentatives maladroites pour échapper à ses problèmes. La mini-série en trois épisodes de la chaîne britannique ITV est disponible sur Arte.tv jusqu'au 21 mai prochain. https://youtu.be/1Txasv4VWqg?si=bjLVazd7n7aZxTMT Fin des années 1960, en Angleterre. Fils de syndicalistes, au service de la Royal Air Force durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le député quadragénaire John Stonehouse cumule les atouts aux yeux du Premier ministre travailliste Harold Wilson, qui souhaite rajeunir ses troupes. Voilà John promu ministre de l'Aviation. Mais piégé par une interprète qui le séduit lors d'un voyage en Tchécoslovaquie, il devient espion pour l'ennemi communiste... sans éprouver la moindre culpabilité. Au contraire : les billets pleuvent et John mène la grande vie. À la fin des années 1960, il était présenté comme l'étoile montante du parti Labour, qui l'envoyait ferrailler sur les plateaux télé contre une autre figure prometteuse, Margaret Thatcher. Mais John Stonehouse n'était qu'une coquille vide. Imbu de lui-même, le député-ministre a failli dans tous les rôles qu'il a endossés : espion calamiteux, mari infidèle trop voyant, entrepreneur aussi avide que désastreux... En trois épisodes, Stonehouse adopte un ton léger et comique, mettant en lumière les péripéties loufoques de ce héros alors qu'il tente de naviguer dans un monde politique complexe. La série offre une critique satirique de la politique britannique tout en explorant les thèmes de la trahison, de la cupidité et de l'illusion du pouvoir. Le petit plus, outre un Macfadyen génial, c'est que son épouse/ex-épouse dans la série est campée par sa véritable femme à la ville, Keeley Hawes, une autre actrice britannique bien-aimée. Elle joue donc Barbara Stonehouse, qui oscille entre l'incrédulité et la colère face aux actions de son mari maladroit. Enfin, Kevin McNally complète le tableau principal et offre une performance impressionnante en tant que Premier ministre Harold Wilson, apportant une touche de sérieux à la comédie. [bs_show url="stonehouse"] À la suite de la diffusion de la série, la véritable fille de Stonehouse a exprimé sa préoccupation quant à la manière fausse dont la série dépeint l'histoire de sa famille. La mini-série nous rappellera A Very English Scandal, avec qui il partage un scénariste, John Preston. Mais le petit clin d'œil à The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe où le héros simulait également sa propre mort à partir d'une histoire vraie est aussi à noter. De toute façon, on reste dans le domaine de la fiction malgré une inspiration de faits réels. Stonehouse est disponible sur Arte.tv pour une soirée divertissante. Elle est en ligne jusqu'au 21 mai 2024.

Caroline Goode served for 33 years in the Metropolitan Police in London. She retired as a Detective Superintendent in the Counter-Terrorism Command after spending ten years leading more than 100 complex murder investigations. One of those investigations, the so-called honour killing of a young Iraqi Kurdish woman by her family, was to become a life changer for Caroline. This investigation, which began as a simple missing person's report, was particularly challenging and complex. After the Banaz case, she trained thousands of police officers nationally and internationally in Honour Based Violence Awareness and was awarded the Queens Policing Medal for her work in 2012. Caroline joins me today to detail the damage that honour-based violence still does to women in the UK and explains her role in the shocking murder of 20-year-old Banaz Mahmod, which was subsequently dramatised in the TV series Honour starring Keeley Hawes. She shares her experience of joining the Metropolitan Police as an 18-year-old woman and some of the challenges she faced at the start of her career. Caroline also discusses why she looked to progress her career in the Metropolitan Police in complex investigative work and why she has always preferred to work in teams that support victims. "We need to keep raising awareness of honour-based violence about it in whichever format we can - there needs to be a wholly consistent approach, or we're going to end up in a situation where these murders continue to happen ." - Caroline Goode Today on The Community Safety Podcast: How Caroline's interest in becoming a detective began with a traumatic experience Why she fought to get maternity regulations changed in the Metropolitan Police Caroline's first role as a Senior Investigating Officer and the investigation that changed her life The story of Caroline's involvement in the horrific Banaz Mahmod case and the eureka moment that eventually helped her team to bring her murderers to justice The difficulty of extraditing two of Banaz's killers from Iraqui Kurdistan and how Caroline made legal history during the process

Six ans après la fin d'Orphan Black, la série canadienne qui avait révélé le talent de Tatiana Maslany, voici Orphan Black: Echoes, un passionnant thriller de science-fiction en dix épisodes. Loin d'être une série massive, Orphan Black avait réussi à captiver un public dévoué et vocal, surnommé le "Clone Club" qui sera ravi ici de retrouver l'univers cher à leur cœur. Portée par la talentueuse Krysten Ritter, connue pour ses rôles dans Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 ou encore Jessica Jones, cette suite/spin-off explore un univers rempli de mystères et de clones 35 ans après l'histoire originelle. La série est créée, écrite, et dirigée par Anna Fishko, qui a travaillé sur des projets tels que The Society et Fear the Walking Dead. Fishko collabore avec John Fawcett, le co-créateur de la série originale pour mieux satisfaire le clone club. La première saison arrive sur OCS à partir du 26 décembre. https://youtu.be/PLnfkSqJX_c?si=qKRSiIHp-SitrG1d À l'instar de la série principale, Orphan Black: Echoes suit un groupe de femmes qui tissent des liens complexes pour dévoiler le mystère de leur identité. Toutefois, cette fois, le thriller se déroule dans un futur proche, ajoutant une dimension d'anticipation à l'intrigue. Concernant l'histoire, elle tourne autour de Lucy (Ritter), une femme au passé trouble qui se réveille sans aucun souvenir de son identité, sa mémoire effacée par une mystérieuse procédure. Dans la panique qui s'ensuit, elle est informée par une scientifique (Keeley Hawes) que son amnésie est due au fait qu'elle n'est pas née mais a été créée, spécifiquement imprimée par une machine capable de produire des tissus humains. Guidée par une neuroscientifique déterminée (Rya Kihlstedt), Lucy se lance dans une quête pour découvrir la vérité sur son origine inimaginable ainsi que celle d'autres protagonistes, comme le rappelle le synopsis « La série suit un groupe de femmes qui se rencontrent par un incroyable concours de circonstances. Elles embarquent alors pour un voyage palpitant, cherchant à percer le mystère de leur identité et découvrant une déchirante histoire d'amour et de trahison. » Le spectateur est plongé dans un monde où des machines peuvent imprimer des tissus humains, permettant le clonage, créant ainsi une toile complexe de conspirations et de découvertes qu'elles soient d'ordre éthique, moral ou tout simplement humain. La manipulation scientifique poussée à son extrême est évidemment remise en question, mais Lucy vit aussi une vie paraissant normale avec un petit ami et une belle-fille qui ajoute des moments touchants. La série s'inscrit dans le même univers que son prédécesseur et des personnages pourraient bien vous étonner.

Zum dritten Mal haben sich Holger, Michael und Rüdiger durch ihre Watchlisten gesucht und dabei sechs sehr empfehlenswerte Serien gefunden, die vermutlich nur die Wenigsten von Euch kennen. Jeder nominiert zwei Serien, die zumindest irgendwie in Deutschland verfügbar sein müssen. Holger beginnt mit dem italienischen Drama "Ein Wunder" (4:20, DVD), die die Auswirkungen eines Marienwunders auf eine kalabrische Gemeinde zeigt und begibt sich für seinen zweiten Tipp wieder einmal nach Südkorea, wo er mit "Through the Darkness" (25:00, Netflix) ein asiatisches Pendant zu "Mindhunter" gefunden hat. Michael zieht es dagegen wieder zu Gen-Z-Serien. Die Webserie "Video Game High School" (12:17, RocketJump auf YouTube) erzählt von einer Zukunft mit eSports-Stipendien, und der Anime "Time Machine Blues" (35:29, Disney+) entwirft eine wilde, kleine Geschichte über filmbegeisterte Teens, die per Zeitmaschine in eine Zeitschleife geraten. Und schließlich gräbt Rüdiger noch "Spooks" aus (19:24, DVD), die nicht nur Matthew Macfadyen, Keeley Hawes und David Oyelowo bietet, sondern auch das britische Pendant zu "24" darstellt. Vor allen Dingen hat es ihm aber die brandneue Apple-Serie "Drops of God" (40:30, Apple TV+) angetan, bei der er inhaltlich und qualitativ viele Parallelen zu "Das Damengambit" findet.Cold-Open-Frage: "Bei welcher Serie könnten wir als Autoren aushelfen?"

Writer/director Dean Craig's film career took off in 2007 when he wrote the hit UK comedy, Death at a Funeral, starring Matthew Macfadyen, Keeley Hawes and Peter Dinklage, and directed by Frank Oz. The film won several audience awards for Best Film, and was remade in the US starring Chris Rock, Zoe Saldana, Martin Lawrence, and Tracy Morgan.In 2020, Craig turned his attention to directing as well as writing, with his debut film Love, Wedding, Repeat. Craig went on to write and directed The Honeymoon, with Maria Bakalova and Asim Chaudhry, and The Estate, starring Toni Collette, Anna Faris, Kathleen Turner and David Duchovny.Craig's other writing producing credits include the feature films Caffeine, A Few Best Men as well as creating the comedy series, Off the Hook with Jonathan Bailey, and Hit the Road, starring Jason Alexander. "So, you have my rhythm on the page, and then David Duchovny brings his rhythm and his attributes. And then you get this sort of hopefully wonderful collaboration between writer and director and actor. The Estate is the film that I directed most recently, and that's with Toni Colette, Anna Faris, David Duchovny, Kathleen Turner, Rosemarie DeWitt, Ron Livingston, Keyla Monterroso Mejia. Some really wonderful actors and I think a very fun ensemble that we were able to do there. I had a very strange year where I got to do The Honeymoon and The Estate pretty much back to back with no break in between, which was challenging, but also amazing to be one minute in Venice with these fantastic actors. Really, I can't tell you how much I loved working with Maria and Pico and Asim and Lucas. They were all totally different people and personalities, but all fantastic in their own way. And then I jumped onto the set and had those fantastic actors to work with.

So it's a collaboration, especially when you've got talent, as you mentioned, Rebel Wilson. She's so specific in the way that she does her comedy and the way she plays her role.

Caroline Goode QPM Caroline Goode served for 33 years in the Metropolitan Police in London. She retired as a Detective Superintendent in the Counter-Terrorism Command after spending ten years leading more than 100 complex murder investigations. One of those investigations, the so-called honour killing of a young Iraqi Kurdish woman by her family, was to become a life changer for Caroline. This investigation, which began as a simple missing person's report, was particularly challenging and complex. After the Banaz case, she trained thousands of police officers nationally and internationally in Honour Based Violence Awareness and was awarded the Queens Policing Medal for her work in 2012. Caroline joins me today to detail the damage that honour-based violence still does to women in the UK and explains her role in the shocking murder of 20-year-old Banaz Mahmod, which was subsequently dramatised in the TV series Honour starring Keeley Hawes. She shares her experience of joining the Metropolitan Police as an 18-year-old woman and some of the challenges she faced at the start of her career. Caroline also discusses why she looked to progress her career in the Metropolitan Police in complex investigative work and why she has always preferred to work in teams that support victims. "We need to keep raising awareness of honour-based violence about it in whichever format we can - there needs to be a wholly consistent approach, or we're going to end up in a situation where these murders continue to happen ." - Caroline Goode Today on The Community Safety Podcast: How Caroline's interest in becoming a detective began with a traumatic experience Why she fought to get maternity regulations changed in the Metropolitan Police Caroline's first role as a Senior Investigating Officer and the investigation that changed her life The story of Caroline's involvement in the horrific Banaz Mahmod case and the eureka moment that eventually helped her team to bring her murderers to justice The difficulty of extraditing two of Banaz's killers from Iraqui Kurdistan and how Caroline made legal history during the process Connect with Caroline Goode: Honour: Achieving Justice for Banaz Mahmod by Caroline Goode Caroline Goode Website Caroline Goode on Twitter Connect with The Community Safety Podcast: The Community Safety Podcast Website The Community Safety Podcast on Facebook The Community Safety Podcast on Twitter

It was a sheer delight to welcome actor and musician, Max Beesley onto The Paul Weller Fan Podcast. What a talent! - piano, vibes, drums and percussion - song-writing - production - and a successful TV & movie acting career to boot!. The Paul Weller Movement kicks off... Even though he was just 18 at the time, Max played a key part in those early days of Paul's solo career with The Paul Weller Movement. He performed live as part of the band across the UK and Europe in 1990/91. Surely I'm not the only one who managed to wear out a VHS copy of the Brixton Academy show because I played it so often?!. I've posted a link to that gig below as it's so very special to me - amazing songs and performances all round. Funky as hell too!. It was recorded on 20th April 1991, a whole year before Paul's first solo album was released in Japan (18 months in the UK). The gig features Steve White on drums, Jacko Peake on saxophone and flute, Henry Thomas on bass and Max Beesley on keys and vibes. Into Tomorrow, Kosmos & playing on the Wild Wood LP Cast your mind back to 6th May 1991. The first solo single… Into Tomorrow was released - and Paul was back!. Recorded at Solid Bond in February, this absolute banger has Weller on vocals, bass, guitars and percussion. Steve White is on drums, Dr. Robert (The Blow Monkeys) on guitar (and BV) with Max on the organ. He also mentions on the podcast about recording Kosmos during that session too. Next time you are digging in to your Weller albums - check out Wild Wood to hear Max performing extra vocals with Marco Nelson on Has My Fire Really Gone Out? and playing wurlitzer on Moon on Your Pyjamas (a song that Paul wrote for his eldest son, Nat). New Music - Song for Sabrina + Omar + Weller Solo? As you'll hear during our chat, Max has been working with Paul again in recent years. We hear about a very special collaboration called Song for Sabrina on his own soon-to-be-released solo album - The Groove Spectrum, working with his old Guildhall mate (and previous podcast guest) Omar in Paul's studio for his new LP and even recording some late night grooves with Paul at Black Barn that will hopefully turn up in the future. What a Roll Call... As a session musician, Max played, toured or recorded with the likes of Incognito, Jamiroquai, Robbie Williams, Omar, Brand New Heavies, George Benson, Stevie Wonder, The JB's and Zero7. As an actor, he has starred in many hugely successful TV series - The History of Tom Jones, Bodies, Hotel Babylon, Mad Dogs, Jamestown and The Outsider. In 2022, you'll be able to see Max starring alongside Keeley Hawes in Sky TV sci-fi thriller The Midwich Cuckoos and in Guy Ritchie's new movie Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre with Hugh Grant, Jason Statham, Aubrey Plaza and Josh Hartnett. Spoiler alert, you can also see Max on screen during the Paul Weller video On Sunset - with a little cameo appearance at the end on the promo film.

Dennis Potter's Karaoke was the first of two linked dramas written as he was dying and produced posthumously after his death. Starring Albert Finney as dying writer Daniel Feeld, the series is a kind of Dennis Potter's greatest hits with references aplenty to his previous works and a self-aware storyline that reflects on the blurring of lines between reality and fiction when people starting behaving like Feeld's characters and speaking the lines he has written. A stellar guest cast includes Hywel Bennett, Richard E. Grant, Alison Steadman, Roy Hudd, Liz Smith, Saffron Burrows and Keeley Hawes. Martin also watched and reflects upon its sequel Cold Lazarus and its links with Karaoke. Is this Dennis Potter at its finest or simply one of his last works?

Bodyguard stars Richard Madden as a war veteran assigned to protect the ambitious Home Secretary, played by Keeley Hawes, whose politics he despises. Like Jed's other shows, Bodyguard kept viewers on the edge of their seats with surprise twists and turns. I got a chance to hang out with Jed while he attended the Banff World Media Festival 2019. Did Jed have Bodyguard's crazy twists in mind from the beginning? What does Jed remember fondly about watching Star Trek as a kid? How much does audience reaction play into planning the next series? Does Jed want to do an American version of one of his UK TV series? Will there be a second series of Bodyguard? You'll have to listen to find out!

In our first film in a new 'sub-season', we tackle the 1922 classic that kick-started the vampire film genre (no, it wasn't absolutely the first, but it was the first ‘mainstream' vampire movie, and has inspired so many others). We have a special guest this week, who talks to us about German Expressionism, how this film is a reflection of contemporary events, and how to get 17-year-olds interested in a silent film from the 1920s!

Firstly, then, there's some important grounding in the genre of German Expressionism and in the story on which this film is based. This is a good introduction to the history of the time. This is the cinematographic technique to which Jennifer refers. And here's more on the movement in medical thought, popular in the 17th century, which led Sam to have questions about the film's history.

The book is about the Brahmin mind, Benaras, and modern politics. Another book discussed in this episode is Red Birds by Mohammed Hanif. The book is about America's war politics and its victims. Both books are highly recommended by our hosts.Taking a dive from a very highbrow discussion, Rajyasree takes us to Eros Now's latest drama series Smoke. A drama set in Goa and revolving around drugs, Rajyasree says Smoke is one of the most well-shot series and has a Narcos feel to it. The cast of this crime drama includes Tom Alter, Gulshan Devaiah, Kalki Koechlin and Jim Sarbh. Sen also thinks the series is as good as Sacred Games and has an Anurag Kashyap vibe to it.Moving on, we discuss Hasan Minhaj's latest series on Netflix, Patriot Act. Abhinandan and Rajyasree believe Hasan's style of stand-up comedy is different but quite predictable, unlike comedians like Stephen Colbert. With only two episodes out, maybe it's too early to judge what Patriot Act has in store but it's a remarkable feat for an American-Indian to have his own show on Netflix.Another recommendation coming from Netflix is BBC series Bodyguard starring Richard Madden and Keeley Hawes.

Secure Transportation and Executive Protection News for Monday, August 27th, 2018 In Executive Protection News From MSN.Com Tech companies are spending millions to secure and transport their top execs Although this may appear to be a new phenomenon, it is only new to the tech world. Actually, corporations have been spending money for decades to keep their executives secure while in transit. In fact, in most all cases safety in transit is mostly determined by the IRS and K&R insurance. The job market also reflects the growing amount of money being spent on protecting executives. The following data is taken from a previous podcast episode: In a 55-day time frame, the ISDA curated and shared 110 job opportunities. The metric that struck us was that 38% of the job opportunities were located in California. The numbers indicated that three states represent 54% of the jobs, and 68% were for various types of EP positions, and 19% for Security Drivers. EP and Secure Transportation job opportunities are like any other opportunities in any other profession; they are sensitive to geography. They are not hard to find - the issue is that there is an enormous skill gap between what the corporations want for skill knowledge and experience - and what is available. http://securitydrivernews.libsyn.com/the-executive-protection-skills-gap   Read More   ======   And from BBC news A BBC TV series on protecting Bodyguard is a British television drama series, produced for the BBC. The six-part series stars Richard Madden and Keeley Hawes you may recognize Madden as Rob Stark from the Game of Thrones.  Set in and around the corridors of power, Bodyguard tells the fictional story of David Budd, a heroic but volatile war veteran now working as a Specialist Protection Officer for the Royalty and Specialist Protection Branch of London's Metropolitan Police Service. When he is assigned to protect the ambitious and powerful Home Secretary Julia Montague, whose politics stand for everything he despises, Budd finds himself torn between his duty and beliefs.

With Kirsty Lang. Oh What a Lovely War, Joan Littlewood's controversial musical satire about the First World War, is being revived in its original home, the Theatre Royal Stratford East. The 1963 production, which Littlewood intended would mock 'the vulgarity of war', was loved by audiences, but detested by some who saw its message as unpatriotic. Critic and historian Kathryn Hughes reviews the production and considers whether the play has the same impact today. After the success of the 'Child 44' trilogy, author Tom Rob Smith has just published a somewhat different type of crime novel. 'The Farm' is a psychological thriller, set in Sweden and England, which keeps the reader guessing throughout. He reveals how the main premise for the novel was inspired by a real life event very close to home. The first series of the television drama, Line Of Duty, found many fans for its study of police corruption. The writer, Jed Mercurio, has now written a second series with a new police officer, Detective Inspector Lindsay Denton played by Keeley Hawes, under investigation. The writer MJ Hyland reviews. How best to translate a novel is a perennial question, but some authors whose works have been published in China have also found the stories themselves being censored. Kirsty hears from journalist Jonathan Fenby and from literary-translation rights specialist Jenny Robson - and US based crime-writer Qiu Xiaolong and Booker Prize winner AS Byatt relate their two very different experiences. Producer: Rebecca Armstrong.
