My talks include details about performing with many famous actors, including Paul Scofield, Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh, and all my Please Sir actors, revealing funny stories of when things didn't go to plan. There are funny anecdotes involving all kinds of performers such as Tommy Cooper. But one of the highlights of my talk is about touring Europe aged 14 with Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh when she was wonderful but had many mood swings.

I have been an actor for many years having started working as a child actor aged 12, working with many famous actors. I toured Europe with Sir Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh in the first Shakespearian company to travel beyond the Iron Curtain at the height of the Cold War in 1957. In my early 20s I played Frankie Abbott in the TV sitcoms 'Please Sir!' And "The Fenn Street Gang.' I am also a writer and have written many published novels.
