Richard Wilson is keen to expand his portfolio of work. He is advised to become a 'brand'. He asks his friends Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Antony Sher how best to go about it.

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.
