Show Notes

The brilliant author, Hattie Williams, joins Julia to recount her early experiences watching The X Files on BBC Two.


No 9-year-old should see the things she's seen, but she finds the show's serial killer - Eugene Tooms - more funny than frightening now. Remember the yellow-eyed lurker who lived in nests made of his own lick and slithered through sewage pipes in search of his next victim?


Well, Hattie does in great, gratuitous detail.


Her gripping debut novel - Bitter Sweet - is out now in hardback and is totally unputdownable.
