Sandbrook commented: “I’m so thrilled to be unveiling this new show. I’ve loved books for as long as I can remember, and Tabitha and I have spent many happy hours debating our favourites while working on The Rest Is History. I’m really looking forward to taking listeners into these fictional worlds – from Middlemarch and Middle-earth to Wuthering Heights and Westeros and exploring the real stories behind them. It’s been enormous fun talking books with a colleague as enthusiastic, sparky and funny as Tabitha, and I can’t wait to welcome listeners into The Book Club.”
Syrett added: “I’ve always loved reading, and I hope the show captures the enthusiasm for literature I’ve carried from childhood into adulthood. From the outset, I wanted The Book Club to move beyond traditional literary criticism – making books feel accessible, engaging, and rooted in the historical worlds that shaped them and their authors. After three years producing The Rest Is History, it’s incredibly exciting to cross the table and step in front of the mic. Dominic is a true delight to work with, and I can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on.”
In Episode One, the pair explore the 1847 classic Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, delving into the life of the novel’s famously enigmatic author and examining why the book caused such controversy on publication. They also explore how the novel resonates today, and discuss how it compares with Emerald Fennell’s Hollywood adaptation – starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elorida – which lands in cinemas on February 14th.
