00:00
We've got another question from Jasper. He's got a question.
00:04
My question to David is,
00:07
are any of the characters in your books based on real people?
00:14
That's a great question. That is a good question.
00:16
Well, whenever I'm trying to think of an evil villain,
00:18
I always think, what would Simon Cowell do?
00:23
Yes, they are.
00:25
There's a character of Bert in Ratburger, who's the villain,
00:28
and he was actually inspired by a Little Britain contestant
00:32
because this guy came on and his name was Cockroach Ken
00:36
and he started eating live cockroaches and he got buzzed off.
00:40
Do you mean Britain's Got Talent, not Little Britain?
00:42
Oh, sorry.
00:43
I don't remember the Little Britain episode.
00:45
Little Britain's Got Talent, I don't remember.
00:48
Only in show with Britain in the title.
