Journalist John Collis lives in the same south London road where Britain's most prolific writer - Edgar Wallace - once lived. Wallace's life was extraordinarily varied and colourful; at the height of his popularity in the 1920s he was responsible for a quarter of all books sold in Britain. He died in Hollywood as filming had just begun on a film based on one of his stories - King Kong. Producer Julian Mayers
