From Secret Agent to Crime Writer

Outlook

Available for over a year

The Israeli writer Mishka Ben David is also a former Mossad agent. He tells us what it's like to write books about Israel's secret service. Lucy also talks to Gwen Davis, Vera Sime and Sheila Douglas, three women from London's East End who changed employment history when they walked out of a car factory more than 40 years ago. James Redford, son of the legendary film star and director Robert Redford, is live in the studio to explain what inspired him to turn the cameras on his own family. And we hear from a Brazilian protester fighting corruption on the streets of Rio... dressed as Batman.
