I’ve just written a radio play called Whatever Happened to Baby Jane Austen. It tells the story of two women, respected novelist Florence and her movie star sister Selina and stars Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders.

David’s latest novel Night Train is all available. Described as a “wild postmodern ride” it has earned rave reviews including this one by the guys at Sublime Horror.
“Are you okay there Your Majesty?” – Nina comforts the Queen at Madame Tussauds, an official K-Rated attraction
As a kid Madame Tussauds, because my dad would make me go and talk to people who always turned out to be waxworks. I always fell for it and I still think it’s hilarious.
Devon, where I grew up. There’s the sea, the countryside, lots of cream, several cows, and Dartmoor, which is like if the Moon was cool.

Our family are very young so it’s the park cafe in Hastings, Eat @ The Park. The food is great, they do decent kids’ meals and you can wind up the dog by leaving him outside.
Food, walking, a nap, and then somewhere like a museum with space rockets. My wife Jenna likes nature so maybe we could see some animals.
So long as we went home on a miniature railway.
(We’d recommend the National Space Centre followed by Twycross Zoo then! -Ed)

The sofa.
Car or foot. Buggies don’t seem to like London very much.
Walk as much as you can. It’s cheaper and you’re still faster than a car.
