Rex Tracey, Tottenham Detective Stories

Anybody Everybody Tottenham

Quite early on when we moved to West Green Road, my housemate went to an author reading at the Big Green Bookshop (remember those days?) and brought back the first book of the Rex Tracey series and gave it to me after he finished. I was immediately enthralled to find all these local roads and places from Haringey and the neighbourhood boroughs jumping off the pages. Being an ardent fan of crime fiction and tv didn't harm either.
The author MH Baylis and I have been Twitter friends for a while (flexing) and I finally decided I am "big enough" to ask him for an interview and he said yes and was really enthusiastic, too.
In this episode you will hear my pleas for a tv adaptation and what the future might hold.
As it is topical there is a longer section about Prince Philip, too (unrelated to Tottenham but a bit to Rex Tracey)
