How much did you have to do with the production? Because I know, you know, you get writers on board who, who write it for TV, who write it for film, but were you consulted throughout the process, and did you have any kind of influence on the cast?

Um, so yeah, uh, I mean, the cast is just a dream come true.

Like, literally every single body on the cast could have been a headline, you know, star of, uh...

In fact, most of them are.

They all have their own incredible kind of projects going on.

So it was, yeah, just, it kept being announced.

I kept being like, "Oh, my gosh, and her, and him?" Um, so yeah, the cast was absolutely beyond my wildest dreams.

i saw that you were recently part of kind of like a retelling of miss marple in a short story collection what was that experience like have you always been an agatha christie fan

Oh, it was huge fun.

I mean, I am a big Agatha Christie fan.

I've spoken about that in interviews before, which I suspect might be part of the reason why I was one of the writers invited to do it, because I'm really open about my admiration for her plotting and her characters and setting and so on.

And she's been a huge influence on kind of how I sort of view the perfect crime plot in terms of, you know, the way the writer has to play fair with the readers and the clues that you have to drop.

And then hopefully that sort of, you know, satisfying snap moment as everything kind of clicks into place.

I think all of that I took from reading her books as a teenager and kind of absorbing the fact that that was how sort of crime is supposed to work.

And what drew you into this world of like pen testing and digital security and how much research did you have to do in order to pull this off?
