Miles Jupp probes mysteries both fictional and autobiographical in these ten radio investigations
Actor and comedian Miles Jupp puts his inquiring mind and talent for comic analysis to work, as he turns his quizzical gaze on the world of fiction.
In these ten entertaining documentaries, he explores why some books, games and binge-watched box sets are, as they say, ‘literally unputdownable’; peers into Plotto, an ingenious manual of story devices, to discover whether it really can make writing easy; takes a sideways look at some familiar characters from literature, including James Bond, Dracula, Fu Manchu and Carruthers; delves into the intricacies of the locked-room murder; and revisits his old prep school to find out whether a book of stirring 19th-century verse can work its magic on today’s young people. And there’s a shock in store for Miles as, researching his Huguenot ancestors, he finds cracks appearing in his family tree…
Included in this collection are:
Miles Jupp is Literally Unputdownable
Miles Jupp and the Plot Device
The Soviet James Bond
The Woman Who Invented James Bond?
The Trainspotter’s Guide to Dracula
