Writer, actor and Gavin and Stacey creator Ruth Jones, and theatre and film director Dominic Cooke share their favourite reads with Harriett Gilbert. Ruth chooses Kate Atkinson's Behind the Scenes at the Museum, Dominic loves What I Loved by Siri Hustvedt, and Harriett advocates for Prick Up Your Ears, John Lahr's biography of Joe Orton. Ruth and Dominic are old friends, but did they enjoy one another's books? And what happened to Ruth's pottery robot in her third set art class?Producer Sally Heaven.Comment on instagram: @agoodreadbbc
