Ep 3: Sarah Phelps – talking The Pale Horse ending, writing during lockdown and 5G conspiracy theorists

Episode 3! Can we really be at episode 3 already? You’re in for a treat, because it’s screenwriter Sarah Phelps (The Pale Horse, Dublin Murders, And Then There Were None). Sarah was an utter joy and blisteringly funny. I spent an hour in her company over FaceTime and it wasn’t enough. I want to hear her opinions on EVERYTHING! We chat on everything from 5G conspiracy theorists and the US President to social media challenges, neuroscience and mediation, this conversation went to some brilliant places.

We talk honestly about tackling creativity during this time along with her TV and book recommendations. We chat about the ending to The Pale Horse and the people who have given her unsolicited feedback, plus why Agatha Christie’s happy endings need closer inspection. EastEnders fans will also love her words about her time on the show. This is a superb episode and I love Sarah for being so candid in it.

The kind words about the podcast have continued to get back to me – it seems after episode 2 that Rufus Jones is the mate everyone would like to go for a beer with (after we’re allowed back in pubs).
