A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Lucy Owen for BBC Radio Wales. Still available on #BBCSounds. I'm about 10 minutes in, sandwiched happily between Morpurgo and Pichon. Link:

It's a silly, gooey, laugh-out-loud story featuring gangsters and criminals, and a very highly-trained cadre of undercover nannies! And we're hoping that subtitle means there'll be more to come... 👀
