Books on the Beach

Charlie Higson is on his 26th Novel. The Fast Show star has been commissioned by the Ian Fleming Estate to write a Brand New James Bond 007 Novel for adults. King Zero is that book: A brilliantly funny, contemporary Bond thriller. In this brand new Ep, we discuss Bond and how he influenced Swiss Toni, the difficulty of creating fresh Action set pieces and why farts are still funny, even though we should both know better!
