Four Tall Towers

Bonus Episode - An Interview with Rachel Flowerday

We were very excited to have our first guest on Four Tall Towers this week - Co-adaptor and Joint Lead Writer of Malory Towers, Rachel Flowerday!
We had such a great time hearing Rachel's journey into writing, the story of how Malory Towers was adapted into a TV series, and what it feels like to see her work on screen. 
And whilst Daddy gets a week off from being quizzed, Rachel faces some MT-related 'quickfire' questions!
It was really lovely chatting to Rachel and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording! 💛
