The Flashing Blade Podcast Interview Special 6 - Matthew Waterhouse

Right then, have an interview with Matthew Waterhouse. We managed to get him for a phone natter whilst he was at a book signing. In it he tells us a little about his books, his days on the show and also comments on how both he and his charecter, Adric, have been perceived down the years... Listen after the DWPA interview with Matthew as, hopefully, the two go together...

Note: Thie interview was done over the electric telephone, so there's a bit of scrunchle and other general radiophonic sounds...
