Andrew Hunter Murray

RHLSTP Book Club #183 - Bad Deeds - Richard talks to novelist and former QI Elf Andrew Hunter Murray about his funny page-turner Bad Deeds. They chat about him no longer being like John Wyndham, how to break into BAFTA, how Richard broke into Buckingham Palace and the much repeated truth about what Michael Fagan got up to in the Queen’s bedroom, giving up on a novel after 30,000 words, planning plots, writing in Costa, the parallels with this book and the brilliant London Falling and why breaking into posh houses is acceptable behaviour.

Comedy troublemakers Dan Schreiber ( No Such Thing As A Fish , The Museum of Curiosity , author of The Theory of Everything Else ) and Andrew Hunter Murray ( No Such Thing As A Fish , The Naked Week , writer for Private Eye , author of A Beginner’s Guide to Breaking and Entering ) join Jameela for an hour of friendship chaos, gig disasters, and stories that make you grateful for every bad choice you didn’t make. Dan kicks things off with childhood misunderstandings, a karaoke nightmare involving his kid and the unedited lyrics of Grease Lightning, and one of the most catastrophic date-night micro humiliations we’ve ever heard. Andrew brings the bouncer years, the book festival where Jude Law mistook him for staff, and a zoo gig so bad the audience preferred to stare at fish. Plus, a Misery Loves Company story about a disastrous hook-up with a neighbor. If you like friendship that borders on warfare, ancient fish upstaging comedians, or men questioning their entire identity in front of Jude Law, this one is for you. Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please , you can also find her on Instagram , TikTok and YouTube . Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson . Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For six months his fiancée, Cara, has been working on the remote island of Sanctuary Rock, the private estate of millionaire philanthropist Sir John Pemberley. Now she has decided to break off their engagement and stay there for good. Ben travels to the island to try and win Cara back. After an arduous journey, he finds himself compelled to stay. But as Ben begins to traverse Pemberley’s kingdom, he begins to uncover the truth of the apparently perfect society the enigmatic Sir John is building.
