One, two, three, four.

Yeah.

Yeah. Hello and welcome to I am the Egg Pod with me Chris Shaw. The Egg Pots take a jaunty stroll through Pepperland,

discussing the Beatles and solo

Beatle albums with a popery of delicious guests. In this episode, I'm joined by writer and actor

known best for horrible histories, yonderland, we are not alone, and ghosts. Lawrence Rickard,

hello! Hello! Lovely to meet you. You've just been finishing the last series of ghosts, I gather.

Yeah, we've just been doing sort of the final little whistles and bells while sort of putting the finishing touches onto a book, which will be out around the same time as well, so it's been a busy old summer.

Ah, so is this going to be like the old goodies books and Monty Python books?

Yeah, I mean, it's kind of world expansion.

There were a number of things that we always talked about doing that never fitted neatly

into a story and we just didn't want to throw them away.

And sort of context as well, people always asked about timelines and things like that.

And so we've been able to, stuff that we've sort of referred to while we've been writing across the series,

but never shown to the public.

And then new gags and lots of visual stuff,

some of which I was able to do myself,

put on my previous career hat and graphic design and do a little bit of that side of it.

So it's been really good fun actually putting it together.

Yeah, because you don't really get those books anymore.

I remember the young ones.

It's probably the last book like that.
