Note: Unassuming Yorkshireman, Arthur Skelton, is one of the most celebrated and recognisable barristers in the land. His success in the high-profile Dryden case - 'the scandal of 1929' - catapulted him to the front pages of the national newspapers. His services are now much in demand and, after careful consideration, he agrees to defend Mary Dutton. Dubbed 'The Collingford Poisoner' by the press, Mary is accused of poisoning her husband after years of abuse. Together with his trusted assistant, Skelton digs deeper and discovers that secrets and lies run deep in the Dutton family and all is not as it appears.

Note: A biography of Kenny Everett, based on intricate documentary research as well as interviews with colleagues, friends and enemies. It not only gets under the skin of the man who reinvented television, but also gives a taste of the times. It captures the excitement of hearing all-pop radio for the first time, the blossoming of gay culture in the 70s and 80s, and the tragedy surrounding the AIDS epidemic.
