Brian Allington

The man of many parts uses the wealth and poverty of his experience to discuss his old chum. Stars Peter Jones. From 1986.

The common image of the breed of actors as selfish, chameleonic and unreliable is almost always quite unjustified.

After all, to be realistic, what sort of professional future could someone like that possibly expect to have?

J Kingston Platt is the doyen of British show business.

He's ready to share reminiscences drawn from the wealth and the poverty of his experience from the past 40 years.

Performed and written by Peter Jones.

Producer: Pete Atkin

First broadcast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 in May 1986.
