Dave Rudden is an Irish author known for his YA Novel series 'Knights of the Borrowed Dark', and his Doctor Who books written for the BBC, and is the Writer-in-Residence at DCU, and today joins Ally and Nigel to discuss the life and work of Sir Terry Pratchett: we discuss the wit and wisdom of Discworld, the difference between early and later Discworld books, treating people with basic decency, the lack of Discworld scholarship, and Dave turns the tables and interviews us.
