The novel Slow Horses by Mick Herron tells the story of a team of disgraced MI5 agents assigned to a bureaucratic dumping ground known as Slough House. They’re, by all accounts, failures – demoted from top tier intelligence to basement busy work. That is, until a kidnapping case lands squarely on their dusty desks – thrusting the slow horses into fast paced espionage.The irony? That book was rejected. For seven years. Then it was pitched as a television series – and rejected by multiple networks. To quote Slough House loser-in-chief Jackson Lamb: “They’re losers. But they’re my losers.”Hope you’ll join us.Ask us Anything:Email us: hello@apostrophepodcasts.caWrite to us on socials: @apostrophepodLeave us a voicemailWe don’t regret to inform you – you can now listen ad-free!
