Miss Pym's Day Out saw Dame Patricia Routledge portray legendary author Barbara Pym in an RTS Award-winning episode of Bookmark, set on the day of the 1977 Booker Prize Awards, of which Pym’s Quartet in Autumn was nominated. The novel marked a huge revival and interest in Pym’s work after 16 years, and in this introduction, Patricia gives us a sense of what it was like to tell this incredible story, from the encounters with Pym’s family that were involved in the project, to reading the diary entries and letters included in the script.
