Robin Cooper live on the wireless system

Here was me being quite silly as Robin Cooper from my equally silly book, The Timewaster Letters, on the excellent Danny Wallace‘s BBC 6 radio show at the weekend. I’d never done this sort of thing before but it was fun.

BTW they intro’d me a bit wrong. I didn’t commission Spaced and Black Books – that was the brilliant Cheryl Taylor, although I did work on the shows. There! Or Bremner Bird and Fortune. There again!

    I listened and called the kids because we had all read the Diaries on holiday. It was everything we hoped it would be.

    Probably doesn’t mean much to anyone else but a something funny that I can share with my 13 & 14 year old girls is wonderful.

    I’m still worried about the house handles though…

    After listening to this I was so satisfied I popped 3 toffees into my mouth!

    Thanks so much Peter. So glad you liked the book – and don’t worry about the house handles too much. Best! Robert
