Richard decides it’s time to write his celebrity autobiography.

Richard decides it’s time to write his celebrity autobiography. He enlists help from Sir Ian McKellen, David Tennant and Peter Capaldi in order to complete his masterwork.

Richard Wilson returns with another series of not quite true revelations about his life. Jon Canter’s comedic writing is as sharp as ever as he delves into themes such as celebrity, brand awareness and death. 

As usual Richard has many friends from whom he seeks advice. Starring Ian McKellen as Head of Gay, Peter Capaldi and David Tennant as the Two Doctors, and Antony Sher as The Man Addicted To Waitrose along with an excellent supporting cast.

 It’s a mockumentary and spoof autobiography rolled into one.
