James Swallow's Splinter Cell novel, Firewall, has been adapted for Radio 4's Limelight strand, and continuing our end of year celebration of genre audio drama, in the first of two interviews with the scriptwriters, we chat with Bernice Summerfield creator Paul Cornell about his work on the series.
I think I put more comedy in. We didn't really have a tone meeting but in the editing, we kind of settled on an even level of comedy throughout. I always think it humanises characters: as soon as they make you laugh, you like them. And Sam Fisher is so straight down the line, we know who he is and what he does, he's an ensemble lead and you surround him with interesting people and he runs the show. So a lot of the characters around him, I gave them some side.
