• The inspirational life and career of the founder of Talking Pictures TV.
• Noel’s journey from post-boy at Rank to creating
the UK’s most popular independent TV channel.
• A fascinating look behind the scenes of the British film industry
during the Swinging 60s and 70s.
• Meet the stars, including Sir Norman Wisdom, George Cole OBE, Prunella Scales CBE, Mickey Rooney, Peter Greenaway CBE, Dame Cleo Laine and Sir Johnny Dankworth plus more.
Noel is unfailingly honest about the grit and determination needed to make a living in the film business; and the leaps of faith required by anyone with a good idea. He talks about the highs and lows of his career; the huge fun he’s had along the way with family and colleagues; the sadness of losing his beloved wife and the battle for his integrity and that of the firm he worked so hard to establish. The book ends on a high note, with the triumphant launch of Talking Pictures TV, the greatest moment of his career. A warm and hugely entertaining romp through the golden years of British cinema; inspiration to anyone who chooses to follow their dreams in the world of film.
