Jeremy Swan - Is That You, Maureen?: My Life Making Children's TV & Beyond
"Memoirs are always memorable for the writer - but the writer hopes that their memoirs will be memorable to the reader, too..."
So Jeremy Swan says, among a thousand other things. Besides directing and producing such BBC children's TV classics as Jackanory, Rentaghost and Grandad, Jeremy works as a playwright, a painter and a raconteur. He doesn't so much drop names as hurl them from a great height with a resounding crash. Everyone from Kenneth Williams to Elizabeth Taylor to Elaine Stritch.
And of course, there's always the nagging question... is he getting paid for this? No, he does it for love... but try him!
Is That You, Maureen? is illustrated with Jeremy's original artwork, along with dozens of rare and unseen photographs from his life and career. The book includes a foreword by Christopher Biggins and an afterword by Anna Home OBE, former head of BBC Children's Programmes.
