Michael has always been, and will always be, the funniest Whitehall. I’ve heard his stories a thousand times and still love them like I’m listening to them for the first time.

I couldn’t have liked it more – Gyles BrandrethI adored this achingly funny book. So will you – Roger LewisHe spills the beans on the stars and their pampered prima-donna ways. A hilarious memoir – Geoffrey Wansell
