Synopsis

Urbane. Brilliant. Brave. Funny. Famous. Handsome.Nigel Havers is the real-life charmer you might expect. In a career that has taken him from a schoolboy production of A Midsummer Night's Dream" to the red carpet on Oscar Night with Chariots of Fire", via starring roles in the West End Stage, classic television series like Don't Wait Up" and a cameo in Little Britain", the Hollywood blockbusters that made him a household are only the beginning. With characteristic modesty and a captivating eye for the absurd, he treats us to the highlights and lowlights of a life like no other; a life in which chilling reality (watching his father Michael -- later the Attorney General -- begin his prosecution of the Yorkshire Ripper) and beguiling fantasy (sleeping with Elizabeth Taylor) continuously and arrestingly collide.
