'When we played the first episode to Jamie's parents, his mum left the room' In 2015, my dad took me aside at a family gathering and said: "I'm writing a book." He didn't say what it was about, but a month later he emailed it to me asking for my feedback. When I realised what it was, a pornographic novel, I had to share it with my friends - if only to purge the shame from my body.
