Clive Stafford Smith with Frankie Boyle: Eternal Clouds of the Troubled Mind image
Synopsis:

Leading human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith was brought up by an obsessive man. Following his father’s death, through his letters, Stafford Smith uncovered a picture of someone deeply troubled.
 
In The Far Side of the Moon he sets what he learned alongside his experience of representing a death row client with acute depression. Stafford Smith is joined today by his friend, comedian Frankie Boyle to discuss his taboo-breaking, profoundly personal book.
