In this episode, join me and my special guest -podcaster, writer and programmer Becky Darke as we cook up spaghetti and peel back the curtain to discuss what happens when a seemingly perfectly planned murder goes wrong, taking a look along the way at the art of showing and telling and making plenty of time to assess one of Hitchcock’s most calculatingly devious villains!
