Chris Hawkins sits in for Mary Anne Hobbs and is joined by writer, journalist and broadcaster David Quantick, who has written for NME, The Fast Show and Brass Eye.

Chris Hawkins sits in with the award-winning writer, broadcaster and critic David Quantick.

Quantick began his career in 1983, writing about rock music for the NME, and contributing jokes to Spitting Image.

In the thirty years that have followed, he has worked on radio and TV shows including On The Hour, The Day Today, The Fast Show and Brass Eye; he is responsible for creating the world's first internet sitcom, 'Junkies'; and he has enjoyed immense success with the publication of his 2004 book 'Grumpy Old Men'.

This morning, he reflects on a career that has seen him working alongside some of the greatest pop culture writers of the eighties and nineties, and discusses his latest release, 'How To Write Everything'.
