Based on his novel Yours Truly, Pierre Stone

Peep Show writer Sam Bain has adapted his novel about an obsessed fan of Strictly Come Dancing star Tess Daly into a Radio 4  show. 

First published in 2002, Yours Truly, Pierre Stone is described as a ‘dark and disconcerting’ comedy about a ‘trivia-obsessed innocent’ who blocks out his bigger problems.

Pierre's passion to find out more about Tess's favourite dress gets in the way of him dealing with his own problems, including a mother in hospital and mounting uncertainty about where his next meal is coming from

The four-part series stars Alex Macqueen, who played Julius Nicholson  In The Thick Of It, as Pierre. It is due to start on Radio 4 on October 25.
