Steve Jones - You're Booked

Steve Jones - You're Booked

By Daisy Buchanan

This week we are welcoming legendary TV royalty to You're Booked Towers. It's Steve Jones! Steve is an instantly recognisable face to anyone with a telly, presenting T4 for many years, plus The X Factor USA, Hair, Drop Zone and F1 coverage on Channel 4. Steve has recently released his first novel the very funny Call Time to rave reviews (and as you'll hear, already has books 2 and 3 in the bag). We talked to him about loving Tolkien, having fun with Filth, writing routines, the power of Stephen King and living life as a Librocubicularist.
