About this episode

Richard Herring interviews Andrew Hunter Murray about his novel 'Bad Deeds' and various related topics.

RHLSTP Book Club #183 - Bad Deeds - Richard talks to novelist and former QI Elf Andrew Hunter Murray about his funny page-turner Bad Deeds. They chat about him no longer being like John Wyndham, how to break into BAFTA, how Richard broke into Buckingham Palace and the much repeated truth about what Michael Fagan got up to in the Queen’s bedroom, giving up on a novel after 30,000 words, planning plots, writing in Costa, the parallels with this book and the brilliant London Falling and why breaking into posh houses is acceptable behaviour.
