From bakers, broadcasters and emergency workers to sailors, drivers and wildlife experts, he reveals the unseen labour that keeps society moving through the small hours. Atmospheric, surprising and full of wonder, this is also a journey into insomnia, darkness, creativity and the magic of the nocturnal world. A fascinating conversation about the hours we rarely notice - but could never do without.
