How I Came to Help People by GEOFFREY PARKINSON with Martin Jarvis and Miriam Margolyes
Geoffrey Parkinson describes this autobiography as ' one man's struggle to failure.' As a schoolboy he had a vision of his future life; it left little room for optimism. But nobody can throw in the sponge at 16, so what was he to do with himself?
Producer SHAUN MACLOUGHLIN
