Andi Oliver says: “I am so thrilled to be back with my fantastic cohorts the brilliant and inspiring Elizabeth Day and the country’s best read human Simon Savidge. I take such pure joy in this unadulterated celebration and exploration of books. This season is joyful, thought provoking and completely compelling and I can’t wait to share it with everyone.”

On September 7 Rev Richard Coles will be on to discuss his first crime novel - ‘Murder Before Evensong’.

Rev Coles recently moved to Friston near Eastbourne.

Elizabeth Day said: “It’s such a thrill to be back with the wonderful Andi Oliver and our resident book guru, Simon Savidge, for a whole new season of what I can entirely objectively say is one of the best books programmes around.
