I had a riot with writer John Woodhouse, we really did laugh, mostly about his fabulous book, A Copper at the Yard.

As a copper, John’s career weaved round the streets of east London and China Town and the corridors of New Scotland Yard then into the offices of the Bomb Squad, Flying Squad and S.O.11 the Intelligence branch.

He tells a straightforward, but compelling and very funny personal story of a policeman in society.
