Chris Chibnall Q&A

from Simon Mayo's Books of the Year

Dr Who and Broadchurch screenwriter, Chris Chibnall, joins SImon and Matt for a Q&A episode. They discuss his writing processes, favourite books and authors, jobs he'd have liked to do (if he hadn't become a successful writer) and whether he always finishes books, or not. We also surprise Chris with a question from Russell T Davies - and - find out who he'd invite to his fantasy dinner party.
