We are back with a special treat for all the SLOW HORSES fans – a interview with Gary Oldman about the latest season. We get into his showdown with David Cartwright that’s been building since season one and how Oldman handles playing a character who’s backstory is still being build by the book series author, Mick Herron. It’s a fascinating look into the show.

After the interview we’ll break down the conversation and what we learned.

This week we are back to talk about Mick Herron’s latest book – The Secret Hours! I’m pleased to welcome The Sunday Times Senior Political Commentator Tim Shipman to the show.

In the first half of the show we stay relatively spoiler free on The Secret Hours as we talk politics and Herron, British inquiries and what makes a politician tick. In the second half we discuss Herron’s take on Berlin just after the fall of the wall, misdirection, and whether the TV show prompted Herron to write this particular story. Plus … we mull over where the series goes next! All that and more in this episode!
