Transcription: Part Two
Katie Hims adapts Kate Atkinson's spy thriller set in MI5 and the BBC. Juliet is trying to work out which of her crimes prompted the note 'You will pay for what you did'.
By Katie Hims, adapted from the novel by Kate Atkinson.
It's 1950. Juliet Armstrong is desperate to find who left her a threatening note, and which of her wartime crimes - when she worked for MI5 - is being avenged. Now a producer in BBC Schools, it's clear she hasn't fully moved on from her work with the intelligence services.
Kate Atkinson's book is a witty and exciting blend of politics, espionage and personal identity, alternating between Juliet's wartime experiences and her post-war life in the corridors of Broadcasting House.
