John Crace's satirical Digested read columns have become a Guardian institution, reducing the most newsworthy books of the year to an essential 600 words.

The Guardian's culture editor Caspar Llewellyn Smith and long-term Doyle enthusiast Hannah Freeman join us in the studio to examine whether this is a return to form, or a resurrection too far.
