Following the success of their Book Club and Summer Read strands, Richard and Judy’s latest mission is to raise awareness of child literacy. This programme, showing in Channel 4’s Lost for Words season, previews 19 titles from both established and up-and-coming authors. It also features interviews with some of the nation’s best-loved literary talents, including Philip Pullman, Jacqueline Wilson and Anthony Horowitz. An audience of children put their questions to the writers, and stars such as comedian Ricky Gervais and the cast of Heroes explain why reading is important to them.
