Esiotrot Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I have been watching The Book Show on Sky Arts for a few weeks now and really enjoy it. I love putting a face/ voice to authors I have read. However its a bit strange when your mental picture and the real person dont match. Hearing authors discuss both their own and other authors work is revealing and inspiring, I especially enjoy hearing the books they wish they had written. Mariella Frostrup can be quite condescending at times - perhaps its just her general manner - but I still love the show. They have a website http://thebookshow.skyarts.co.uk// which has a great link to their you tube channel which has over 200 short interviews with authors. Anyone else watch?

Kell Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I've seen it a few times and it's pretty good, but I'm usually busy when it's on and I don't watch much TV or I would see it more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I've only caught the end of it once, and that was by accident. I will check out the link you posted and try to remember to look out for the show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Andrea~ Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I used to catch it on Sky three. Haven't seen it for ages but I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I don't have that channel on my tellybox so I have to rely on YouTube to see the author interviews. I particularly like 'The Write Place'. I love seeing where authors write and thought Iain Banks's tour around his office was funny, and Jacqueline Wilson's was another favourite.

Karen1 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I keep meaning to watch this when it's repeated on Sky Three but keep forgetting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
