which really I found very, very moving.

He's someone who's struggled with, you know, he's no longer with us, but struggled with mental health crisis in his life.

I mean, the book I come back to a lot is The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene.

Desert Island Discs

But I think just for the size of time I have, the amount of time I have, I think I will take the complete works of Charles Dickens.

Desert Island Discs
David Morrissey, actor

I like the fact that he's funny.
