Jeremy Dyson
Book Shambles Live at the Ilkley Literature Festival
The first of two Halloween specials, Robin is joined by co-creator and co-writer of The League of Gentlemen and Ghost Stories, as well as many other things, Jeremy Dyson. Recorded live at the Ilkley Literature Festival they chat about what authors drew them into both horror and comedy and influences on the League. Plus there’s talk of Stephen King, Robert Aikman, Arthur C Clarke and much more.
