BBC Parliament 'Book Talk'

I was interviewed for BBC Parliament's programme Book Talk a few weeks ago, and it finally aired this weekend on both Saturday and Sunday. The programme is presented by the affable and wonderfully-named Mark D'Arcy, who was genuinely interested in my book, The Scottish Secretaries, and therefore a joy to be interviewed by.

I got nearly fifteen minutes to talk about various aspects of the book, and Mark asked a lot of very intelligent questions. You can see the full programme by visiting the BBC Parliament website at www.bbc.co.uk/parliament, clicking on the 'Live Now' button and then choosing Book Talk from the 'Highlights' section of the drop-down menu. Thanks to Steve Richmond for the screen grabs.
