Did you know that there is only one television programme in the UK that is dedicated entirely to books? Well, there is. It’s called The Book Show and is returning to Sky Arts with a new series on October 18th.

The Book Show had a popular run last time around, featuring top international authors, a wide variety of books and the gruff-voiced charms of Mariella Fostrup, who presents the show. Some of the authors due to be interviewed over the coming months include Martina Cole, Sue Townsend, Patricia Cornwell, Michael Morpurgo and Sir David Frost.

Don’t stop reading, lit’ fans, coz there’s more.

Sky Arts are inviting you to ask your own questions via the medium of film. Simply record yourself directing a question to your favourite featured author (a full list of authors appearing throughout the series can be found here) and upload it to the SkyCast website and you could be interrogating Alastair Campbell on national TV.

Get in quick though, as the deadline for the first set of authors is at 12 noon on Mon 15th. Follow this link to find out more info and see an example question posted by the Sky Arts team….
