Carl Plummer Interview 01 October 2020

I'm talking to Author Carl Plummer on Book Talk Radio Club. Carl
wanted to write but write what he wanted to read. Having had a good
think about the fiction he enjoyed most - humour and satire, and
history. Could he combine them? What would happen to Bertie Wooster
if he lost his little all, and his aunts and uncles lost their
little alls? His allowances gone. And what of Jeeves? Such a
schemer, such a brain. What if he was malevolent, and
Machiavellian? He thought about his teenage years. Wet Sunday
afternoons filled with old black and white movies: Ice Cold in
Alex, The Cruel Sea, The Wooden Horse, The Colditz Story, Carve her
Name with Pride, Where Eagles Dare, Went the Day Well? Mrs.
Miniver, In Which we Serve, The Dambusters – It was a world of
heroes, and then Carl had his hero… Pelham Hardimann! You can find
