A waste of time

Whitehouse's new radio project

Paul Whitehouse has recorded a radio version of a new book written by Peep Show producer Robert Popper.

Popper has completed a novel under the pseudonym of Robin Cooper, his alter ego who has already published two volumes of Timewaster Letters, detailing his odd correspondence with companies and organisations.

The new book, The Timewaster Diaries, is a year in the life of this fictional creation, and is published by Sphere on July 5.

Whitehouse has recorded an adaptation of the novel for Radio 4's Book of The Week, for the week beginning July 16.

An audio version of the book, also read by Whitehouse, will also be released on CD the same day as the novel.
