Behind The Scenes Of Bookish

Antonia Quirke goes behind the scenes of Bookish

Antonia Quirke goes behind the scenes of a new series of Bookish, the murder mystery series written by Matthew Sweet and Mark Gatiss, who plays a bookshop owner called Book who turns detective. Antonia hears from Matthew as he works on the script and crafts a cliff-hanger and decides just how many red herrings there should be in one episode. He reveals the secrets of his working relationship with Mark, and we join them as they travel to their place of work, a film studio in Belgium, discussing which character they are going to murder that day. And just how the crime will be committed. Clue: it involves a box of chocolates. And why the original murder weapon was going to be a sandwich.
