This year's Man Booker prize has attracted greater attention - and greater sales - than the award has seen for many years.
Claire Armitstead, John Crace and Sarah Crown discuss the merits of the winning novel, Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall, debating whether Mantel's portrayal of Thomas Cromwell and the court of Henry VIII stand up to scrutiny, if the judges passed over a more deserving winner, and how the bookies will feel about seeing the favourite waltz off with the prize for the first time in a decade.
