Graham Hoyland at the Cheltenham Literature Festival 2013

Film maker and adventurer Graham Hoyland spoke to us this afternoon about the deadly allure of Mount Everest...

Having learned of the mysterious disappearance of the 1924 Mallory-Irvine expedition when he was just twelve, Graham Hoyland became not only obsessed with the mountain itself - he wended up being the fifteenth Brit to make it to the summit - but also with discovering the truth behind those last fateful hours on Everest.

Did they make it to the top?
