Miles Jupp probes mysteries both fictional and autobiographical in these ten radio investigationsActor and comedian Miles Jupp puts his inquiring mind and talent for comic analysis to work, as he turns his quizzical gaze on the world of fiction.In these ten entertaining documentaries, he explores why some books, games and binge-watched box sets are, as they say, 'literally unputdownable'; peers into Plotto, an ingenious manual of story devices, to discover whether it really can make writing easy; takes a sideways look at some familiar characters from literature, including James Bond, Dracula, Fu Manchu and Carruthers; delves into the intricacies of the locked-room murder; and revisits his old prep school to find out whether a book of stirring 19th-century verse can work its magic on today's young people. And there's a shock in store for Miles as, researching his Huguenot ancestors, he finds cracks appearing in his family tree...Included in this collection are: Miles Jupp is Literally Unputdownable Miles Jupp and the Plot Device The Soviet James Bond The Woman Who Invented James Bond?The Trainspotter's Guide to Dracula Miles Jupp in a Locked RoomFu Manchu in EdinburghBy Jove, Carruthers!Miles Jupp's Muscular LinesMiles Jupp is Insufficiently BelgianProduction creditsPresented by Miles JuppProduced by David StenhouseActor: David Jackson Young, with additional contributions from Crawford Logan, David Rintoul and Samantha BondMiles Jupp is Literally Unputdownable first broadcast BBC Radio 4, 28 June 2020Featuring DJ Taylor; Paula Hawkins; Jed Mercurio; Will Storr and Frederick ForsythMiles Jupp and the Plot Device first broadcast BBC Radio 4, 31 December 2015Featuring Mike Ashley; Professor Paul Collins of the University of Portland Oregon; John Harvey; Jeffrey Marks; Val McDermid and Damon RochefortThe Soviet James Bond first broadcast BBC Radio 4, 18 December 2014Commissioned by BBC Radio 4 and produced by BBC Radio ScotlandFeaturing Professor Ian Christie of Birkbeck College; Mark Liederman, Professor of Russian Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder; Olga Semyonova; Vitali Vitaliev and Simon WinderThe Woman Who Invented James Bond? first broadcast BBC Radio 4, 10 December 2016Featuring Pam Hirsch; John Pearson; Nigel West and Simon WinderThe Trainspotter's Guide to Dracula first broadcast BBC Radio 4, 31 October 2017Featuring Sir Christopher Frayling; Andras Hlavacska; Zita Hummer; Tudor Salajan; Alexandru Simon and Dacre StokerMiles Jupp in a Locked Room first broadcast BBC Radio 4, 21 May 2012Featuring Robert Adey; Mike Ashley; Paul Doherty; Jasper Fforde; Christopher Fowler; Paul Halter; Daniel Mallory; Denise Mina; John Pugmire and Soji ShamadaFu Manchu in Edinburgh first broadcast BBC Radio 4, 6 April 2010Featuring Sascha Auerbach; Paul Bailey; Alan Bennell; Grant Buttars; Owen Dudley Edwards; Bill Maynard; Dr Jonathan Murray; Matthew Sweet and Shenxiao TongReader: Crawford LoganBy Jove, Carruthers! first broadcast BBC Radio 4, 12 May 2009Featuring Louis Barfe; Owen Dudley Edwards; Bruce Durie; Roger Johnson; Sam Llewellyn and Celia MitchellMiles Jupp's Muscular Lines first broadcast BBC Radio 4, 3 January 2010Featuring Leslie Barr; Colonel Tim Collins, OBE; Owen Dudley Edwards; Sir Ranulph Fiennes and vox pops with pupils from St George's School, Windsor CastleMiles Jupp is Insufficiently Belgian first broadcast BBC Radio 4, 25 March 2015Written by Miles Jupp and David Stenhouse with additional material by James KettleFeaturing Nick Barrett; Bella Jupp, Gillian Jupp, Rob Jupp, Rupert Jupp, Thomas Jupp, Christine Sas and Lieven Schiere
