Episode details

Available for over a year
Edi talks to the highly entertaining writer James Runcie, best known for the 'Grantchester' crime mystery novels which are loosely based on his father Robert Runcie, the late Archbishop of Canterbury. Family life, as he describes with great amusement, was far from conventional. In a varied career in the arts, he has worked in theatre, television and radio, most notably as commissioning editor for arts on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4 - but it was at the very start of his career, working in radio drama in Edinburgh, that he met his wife, the dynamic and much-loved director Marilyn Imrie, who died last year of motor neurone disease. He talks movingly about writing his memoir 'Tell Me Good Things', which reflects on their happy relationship and how the family faced her devastating illness.
