1/4. When the late, great Jack Rosenthal finally wrote his memoirs he did so in the form he understood best - as a screenplay. This series was abridged and adapted by his daughter Amy Rosenthal from her father's original scripts and features his wife, Maureen Lipman.
This first programme starts just before Rosenthal's birth and follows him up to his days as an aspiring writer at the University of Sheffield.
