Richard Harrington (Hinterland, The Crown, Death In Paradise) and Kenyan born comedian Njambi McGrath choose the books they've loved reading. Richard's choice is Unreliable Memoirs by the late Clive James, stories of his childhood in rural Australia. Fond memories of laughter at home as a child hearing his father reading extracts of it aloud to his mother brought Richard to the book as an adult. Njambi McGrath says Chigozie Obioma's chilling tale of two young Nigerian brothers in his debut novel The Fishermen made the hairs on her body stand up, and she could "feel the words on my skin", it was so engrossing. The Fishermen was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2015.
