‘It contains three unseen storylines, which we eventually cut, lots of jokes which didn’t work, and some childish swearing which we were forced to remove by adults.
‘Many of the stories are also told here in a different order as it turns out that writing a multi-story plot can be as complex as playing 3D chess, and we couldn’t tell until we saw it put together which bits were in the wrong places.’
As an annual fundraiser, War Child raises money for children in conflict zones. The auction will run from April 25 to May 16.
