Chris Chibnall Returns to WHOC2C!

CHRIS CHIBNALL - ex Doctor Who showrunner, screenwriter, producer and author of the Nicola Bridge murder mystery novels - returns to the Who Corner to Corner Podcast for an incredible third time to talk about his brand new novel THE PARKWOOD MURDERS. 

Following on from Chris's debut novel Death at the White Hart, The Parkwood Murders sees Detective Nicola Bridge investigating a murder at a popular nature holiday park mid-season. But with so many suspects, hundreds of guests and staff, not to mention lack of resources, growing unrest and a ticking clock, the challenge of uncovering the murderer seems impossible! 

Of course we've read it, and of course we love it - and we've done our best to keep our discussion spoiler free. But if you haven't read the book yet, what are you waiting for? Go on - do it! Do it now! We guarantee you won't be disappointed! 

Listen up as Chris talks us through his elevator pitch for the novel, his plans for future adventures for Detective Nicola Bridge, and the latest news on developing Death at the White Hart as a TV series.  

In amongst the chat we find time to put your questions to Chris and ask him for his take on the current state of affairs surrounding Doctor Who.
