I adored the writing of Wodehouse, Austen, Waugh, Mitford, Saki, Adams \u2013 all the great comic writers of the twentieth century. But it was the same with the television I watched (and comedy LPs and annuals I bought). I hoovered up The Young Ones, Not The Nine O\u2019Clock News, Monty Python, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore and on and on. It was a big reason why I set my heart on going to Cambridge University. I wanted to go to the place where a lot of these people had come from.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What first sparked your interest in writing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The short answer is reading. I spent my entire childhood reading, whether it was Hardy Boy adventures by torchlight under the covers, or Agatha Christie\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=88371\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Peril At End House<\/em><\/a> that I snuck onto my lap during a Geography lesson (sorry, Mr Huggins). And the more I read, the more I wanted to try and do it for myself. (I also wanted to play football for Ipswich Town, but I had to give up on that dream really quite quickly).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>In your university days you were part of the Cambridge Footlights troupe with David Mitchell, Robert Webb and Oscar winner Olivia Colman. What was that experience like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the time, none of them were Oscar or BAFTA winners (I also remain neither of those things), so they were just super-talented friends who I really wanted to be in a play with. So, when I was directing a touring production of Moliere\u2019s The Miser, I made sure that the cast were those three plus me. But the key point about them is that they were always that charismatic and brilliant \u2013 they seemed to be cut from a different cloth to the rest of us mortals \u2013 and it was no surprise to any of us when they went on to be so successful.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>When you created the character of DI Richard Poole, was he fully formed in your mind?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am ashamed to say that Richard Poole is based on the worst traits that I have. (That\u2019s not the whole story, as I also channelled the pompousness of Hercules Poirot as well). But all of Richard\u2019s failings \u2013 his grumpiness, his lack of wanting to join in, his dislike of leaving the UK \u2013 are all failings that I have, I\u2019m afraid.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Death in Paradise<\/em> has been hugely successful. Has it been a help or a hindrance changing the characters in the TV adaptation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Funnily enough, I think that the fact that we\u2019ve had to change lead actors every few years has really helped the show. After all, the genre means we\u2019ve got to kill someone and then catch their killer every episode \u2013 we can\u2019t ever change that and would never want to \u2013 but when we change our main actors, we really get to change the sorts of stories we can tell. So if Richard was a curmudgeon who was uptight about everything, Humphrey could be overly-friendly and shambolic. At the very least, it\u2019s kept us on our toes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you tell Suffolk readers a little about your latest book <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=3227078\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>Death Comes to Marlow<\/strong><\/em><\/a> which is due in January?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a locked room mystery, where a local grandee is found murdered in his study \u2013 and the only key to the room is in his pocket, so how was he killed? I love a good mystery, and the \u2018locked room\u2019 mystery is one of the most enjoyable there is. Not only do our heroes have to work out who the killer is, they\u2019ve also got to work out how on earth the killer carried out the murder.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there anything you can share with us about your latest project?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During lockdown, we all saw the fireworks that could happen during a local council meeting (remember Jackie Weaver from the Handforth Parish Council?), so the new Marlow Murder Club novel kicks off during a council meeting where the Mayor is poisoned and dies. Beyond that, I wouldn\u2019t like to say too much as it would be a spoiler!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>We&#8217;re in the run up to Christmas at the moment. What does a typical Christmas look like for you? Do you get a proper break?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Christmas is a wonderful chance either to host all the extended family, which my wife Katie and I love doing, or to go to the extended family, which is even more enjoyable because you don\u2019t have to put the turkey on at some ungodly time in the morning. This year we\u2019re all descending on my mother\u2019s house in Bures (the Suffolk side not the Essex side!), and I plan to take off as much time as possible between Christmas Eve and New Year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>One book, piece of music or art that everyone should experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It would be a book: <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=68891\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Cold Comfort Farm<\/em><\/a> by Stella Gibbons, one of the funniest books ever written in the English language.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you tell us one thing about yourself that your readers may not know?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I first left
