Stop the World - It's Anthony Newley

BBC Radio 2
on BBC Radio 2

3/4. Jonathan Ross recalls the complex life and career of talent-heavy singer, songwriter and stage and screen star Anthony Newley, who died in 1999, aged 67. The series looks at Newley's formidable accomplishments and how his fame and fortune offered him inadequate personal satisfaction. This edition recalls his work in films, from his teenage appearance in David Lean's Oliver Twist (1948) to his 1969 directorial effort, Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?
