The Bureau de Change of the Mind - ‘The Greatest Truth’

Elis James and John Robins
Contains some strong language, adult humour and some scenes of a sexual nature.

Available for over a year

Inspired by a listener’s card, John reveals his plans to write a series of gentle romantic novels, featuring titles such as ‘The Winter Of Our Years’ (in which the couple get a stairlift) and The Autumn of Our Years (the first 18-certificate book). True or false, John was the sort of kid that would cry if he didn’t win Pass the Parcel at someone else’s birthday? Listen to find out how 44 year-old John handles the game. After all, Pass the Parcel is a hardcore event.
