Book Club #115 - The Elsie Drake Letters - Richard talks to the creator of Friday Night Dinner and Look Around You, Robert Popper, about his collection of letters from Elsie Drake (aged 104) to various unsuspecting companies and people of note. They chat about the genesis of his previous letter writing campaign, The Timewaster Letters, what made him decide to take on the persona of Britain’s sixth oldest woman, how the replies usually show the good in people, the many calls from the police and other institutions that came about as a result of the letters, whether Robert was wasting people’s time, Richard’s own attempts at spoof letters, including a campaign to legalise a sex act that is illegal for heterosexuals and a fantastic new idea for a Look Around You Movie (that will crop up again in the upcoming Peter Serafinowicz podcast)
