A SEARING INDICTMENT OF THE ACTING PROFESSION, AN EXPLOSIVE EXPOSÉ OF THE SEEDY SIDE OF THE TV BUSINESS......is not what you will find here! More a glorious gallop through a fifty-year odyssey, telling how a scruffy kid from the backstreets of war-torn Salford chased (without ever really catching) his dream of becoming an actor. It's a fascinating story told from a different perspective - Jim Whelan's. It is a story of not ever becoming a star nor being recognized, but working solidly whilst falling in love with Helen, watching his children grow, and eventually feeling the great joy of grandchildren.
