Ep. 606 - David Quantick Returns - Emmy winning writer of Veep, The Day Today, Brass Eye, The Thick of It

Back for his second time capsule! - David Quantick is an Emmy Award-winning writer whose credits include some of the most influential British comedy of the past few decades, including The Day Today, Brass Eye, The Thick of It and Harry Hill’s TV Burp. He also wrote for HBO’s Veep, for which he won his Emmy, as well as Avenue 5, and has written extensively for radio and television. His latest novel, The Hyena, is a surreal alternate-history story about a forgotten artist whose extraordinary life brings her into contact with figures including Frida Kahlo and Salvador Dalí.

David Quantick is our guest in episode 606 of My Time Capsule and he chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things he’d like to put in a time capsule; four he’d like to preserve and one he’d like to bury and never have to think about again .
