"Yeah, you’d be surprised how many people haven’t heard of The Moomins OR The Killing!”

Get lost in Jane Austen with the warm and wonderful… Cariad Lloyd, who joins Tim Lihoreau for an artful, articulate chat to unveil her 5 fantasy dinner party guests.

You may know her from her legendary Griefcast pod, or maybe from her hit West-End production, ‘Austentatious’, or maybe even from her many TV appearances on QI, Have I Got News for You, 8 out of 10 Cats, and loads more.

Discover her ‘famous five’ guests. They can be living or dead, real or fictional, beloved or controversial – all that’s guaranteed is they are made welcome. Plus, can we sneak in…a “Gate-crasher”? You’ll have to listen to find out!
