Christopher Brookmyre

Scottish Crime Novelist Christopher Brookmyre speaks to his parents about life growing up in Barrhead in the 60s, from religious differences to the rolling stones. He describes how his informed and supportive upbringing has nurtured his writing. From his primary school story writing to the secondary school debating team; the trips to the theatre to listening to his mum's 'rants' at the radio and how the family home gave him the space and inspiration for his present day writings.
