Sunday Times bestseller, William Boyd, joins Simon and Matt for a natter about his latest novel - 'The Predicament'.

This is the second of a trilogy set in the 60s about reluctant spy, Gabriel Dax, who is also a travel writer.

William gives some writing advice (he always knows the ending), reflects on the smoking and drinking culture of the 1960s and talks us through his reasons for his spy's characteristic traits.
