About Me

In the intervening years, he has appeared on Radio 4's "Today" programme and - with a degree of randomness befitting the man - BBC2's "Working Lunch". He has also contributed to the home-viewing reference guide "The DVD Stack" (Canongate, 2006; second edition 2007), Halliwell's "The Movies That Matter" (HarperCollins, 2008) and "The Little White Lies Movie Quiz Book" (Laurence King, 2019).
