Educating Daisy with Daisy May Cooper

Audible

Six celebrities face their biggest challenge yet: to convince Daisy May Cooper to read a book. Daisy May Cooper ( This Country , Witchfinder ) is one of Britain’s busiest writers – but definitely not one of its keenest readers. She says she’d love to read more – but it’s hard to find the time. And anyway – the classics are just dull, outdated and boring. Aren’t they? In this new Audible Original series – Daisy’s first ever podcast - she’s invited six celebrity friends to try to covert her to books by telling her all about their favourite classic. She promises she’ll definitely read one of them by the end of the series. Maybe. So can Tim Key, Diane Morgan, Jamali Maddix, Nish Kumar, Katie Price or Alan Carr introduce her to a book that she will actually read? Between them they’re bombarding Daisy with some of the best historical fiction, classic murder mysteries and graphic novels ever conceived – but will anything persuade Daisy to put down her Take a Break magazine? It’s not going to be easy… Produced by Telltale Industries / Antica Productions for Audible Originals Warning: contains adult content and language

  1. Ep 1: Tim Key

    Ep 1: Tim Key

    Daisy’s Witchfinder colleague – poet, comedian and actor Tim Key has a strong literary bent. He’s chosen a 19th Century comic classic – widely loved by comedians, and often cited as the first sitcom character in literature. Daisy loves how the central character reminds her of Tim, and there’s pictures too! But is this Victorian masterpiece just too wordy to get on her “must-read” list?

    Ep 2: Diane Morgan

    We’re staying in the late 19th Century for Cunk on Earth’s Diane Morgan. She’s chosen a classic novel with a strong political message, and an extraordinary backstory. Can Diane get Daisy to get behind this tale of the struggle of the working man?  Trigger warning – wanton eating of raspberries takes place throughout this episode. (Daisy trigger warning – this book is 391 pages long!)

    Ep 3: Jamali Maddix

    Daisy’s Never Mind the Buzzcocks co-star has gone for a very different kind of ‘classic’. He’s brought one of the most iconic graphic novels of the 1990s. With wild stories, big characters, and plenty of gratuitous sex, drugs and gore, this could be just the book to get Daisy on board the whole reading thing.

    Ep 4: Nish Kumar

    Daisy first met Pod Save the UK and Mash Report host Nish Kumar at one of her earliest live gigs. It did not go well. Nish is leaning in with a classic children’s book from one of the world’s most respected living authors. He’s a knight of the realm, a Booker prize winner, and once had a cameo in Bridget Jones’ Diary (perhaps unsurprising which one of those facts most piques Daisy’s interest…).

    Ep 5: Katie Price

    Katie Price is the prolific author of more than 50 books, and a passionate reader of true crime and horror. She’s also a reality TV star, business woman and Daisy’s biggest celebrity crush.    Katie’s gone for a book she’s always loved – in fact she nearly named her daughter after one of the main characters. Or should that be mane characters…

    Ep 6: Alan Carr

    Daisy and Alan are old friends who share a love of celebrity autobiographies, so will Alan’s book choice – a classic murder mystery, from a true maestro of the genre - be a canny one?   He’s got an impressive knowledge of his chosen author, one of the ‘Four Queens of Crime’, who’s sold 100 million copies of this book. Can Alan persuade Daisy to make it 100 million and one?
