  Writer, actor and presenter Emma Kennedy shares her offcuts – the out-takes and writing projects that fell by the wayside – with host Laura Shavin.

Cast: Keith Wickham, Leah Marks, Emma Clarke, Beth Chalmers and Toby Longworth.

Emma Kennedy wears many hats. Having trained in and practised law (a hat she then discarded) she has gone on to be an actor, novelist, comedy writer, producer, playwright, presenter, winner of TV competitions and Queen of Lego. You will recognise her face from her roles in TV comedies such as The Smoking Room and Goodness Gracious Me, or from her work with Mel & Sue, or even from her presenting on Comic Relief.  And you'll know her voice from countless Radio 4 shows and podcasts, in particular her work with Richard Herring.

Her second book The Tent, The Bucket And Me was turned into TV series The Kennedys. She's written 10 other books, including three for children that feature her character Wilma Tenderfoot. For children's television her writing CV includes episodes of Dangermouse, Strange Hill High and Waffle The Wonderdog, and after the success of her fiction thriller for adults The Things We Left Unsaid last year, a second novel, The Time Of Our Lives is due out next Spring.
