Andrew Davies An Unsuitable Boy: A Life in Scripts

The man behind our favourite period dramas – from Pride and Prejudice to Bleak House – has finally turned his pen on the most challenging subject of all: himself. The writer and Warwickshire resident discusses his own story, which is every bit as compelling and chaotic as the characters he’s brought to life. From his complicated bond with his mother and the family dynamics that still influence his writing to the memory of his wife Diana and their long, happy marriage that was complicated by affairs on both sides, nothing is off the table.
