Playing with fire

Description:

Nigel Havers is the real-life charmer you might expect. In a career that has taken him from a schoolboy production of A Midsummer Night's Dream to the red carpet on Oscar Night with Chariots of Fire, via starring roles in the West End Stage, classic television series like Don't Wait Up and a cameo in Little Britain, the Hollywood blockbusters that made him a household are only the beginning. With characteristic modesty and a captivating eye for the absurd, he treats us to the highlights and lowlights of a life like no other; a life in which chilling reality and beguiling fantasy continuously and arrestingly collide.
