Richard Osman: the inspiration for my "Thursday Murder Club"
Richard Osman takes us on a behind the scenes tour of the real-life retirement village that set the scene for his best selling novel - which is also home to his mum, Brenda.
It's tranquil, sedate and quiet. A place where residents play bowls, do line-dancing, and even take part in a knitting club. But - behind the ordinary exterior - one retirement village holds a dark secret. It's the scene of multiple murders, and four elderly amateur detectives who crack the crimes.
This is not real-life of course, but the premise of the best-selling "Thursday Murder Club" series written by TV presenter-turned-author Richard Osman.
So what inspired this now famous setting?
