Sherrin is almost unbelievably well-connected, as this memoir attests. From Kenneth Williams to Laurence Olivier, via serious drama, comedy and light entertainment, he really has known or worked with several generations of Britain's most talented stars. And in anecdote after charming anecdote, he demonstrates quite why, at 75, he's still going strong
Ned Sherrin looks back on his long and glorious career in showbusiness with some witty anecdotes. In this delightful memoir he recalls working with some of the industry's greats, from Dame Judi Dench to Danny La Rue
Written in a breezy, matter-of-fact manner that still allows for some excellent one-liners and witty analyses . . . these memoirs are a pleasure to read
