Paperbacks

BBC One
on BBC One London

with Robert Kee
A weekly look at what is new, controversial and entertaining in the world of paperback books - and paperback writers.
This week there are interviews with Tom Sharpe whose "The Wilt Alternative" has just been published and with Douglas Adams, author of the multi-media phenomenon "The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
Jessica Mitford flies from America to cast a quizzical eye at some of the surprising best-sellers of the last six months.
And finally the fiction of Nabokov is celebrated by Martin Amis. His strong opinions may not be shared by the other guests.
