Join Us for A Talk by Colin Bostock-Smith: Crime & Comedy Writer “It’s no surprise that Colin Bostock-Smith, with a great track record in radio and television comedy, has produced such an excellent first crime novel.” Simon Brett, novelist and scriptwriter “Devon, it seems, isn’t only about cream teas. As our village bobby, on his motor bike, discovers there are mind-altering drugs, sexual threesomes and corruption there, too.” Ray Connolly, author, journalist and screenwriter “All the 1950s charm of Dixon of Dock Green, only set in sleepy Devon and with just a hint of Quentin Tarantino”. Andy Hamilton Comedian and writer Born and raised in a remote Devonshire village, Colin Bostock-Smith made his way to London and became a legendary comedy writer whose credits included Not The Nine O’Clock News, The Two Ronnies, Spitting Image, Rowan Atkinson, Tim Brooke-Taylor, David Jason, a BAFTA winning Clive James programme and many others. Moving more recently to deepest East Sussex with his partner Ruth, he has turned to writing novels about crime and passion in a remote Devonshire village. Five of them to be exact: Sting of the Nettle, An Unkind Harvest, The Man who Walked with Goats, The Bones Beneath the Brambles and To Die in a Ditch.
