Frank Cottrell Boyce: there’s nothing unusual for me about talking to saints

The author of Millions, Framed and now The Astounding Broccoli Boy talks to site members Brownedge RAW about children changing colour, Ninja turtles, superheroes, the Olympic opening ceremony and what it’s like to be a writer

What was it like writing for the Olympic opening ceremony compared to writing a novel?

Oh gosh!!! Great question. Well, writing a novel you’re on your own in a room for months on end and you hope some people will read what you write. On the Olympics, I was just one member of a team. But the scary thing was that you knew a BILLION people were going to watch it!!!! Writing for the opening ceremony was wonderful because I was working with really really brilliant people like Danny Boyle, Richard Smith, Suttirat LarLarb and Mark Tildesley.
