Enjoyed every part Roy has played. His role in Potter’s Lipstick will stay with me for life. Would love to see that series again. Amazing entertainer and pleased to hear this autobiography to know a bit more about a true national treasure.

Always been a fan

Fast moving retelling of some of Roy’s recollections of his life and career. Roy’s delivery is fast paced and full of pathos on his life on the boards,television and radio. Sprinkled with anecdotes that lead you to think about the long forgotten stars that he met and we might have forgotten. Just sit back and enjoy I’m sure you’ll be captivated.

Lovely memories from Roy’s showbiz life.
