Since 'Auf Weidersehen,Pet' first captured the public's imagination,actor and musician Jimmy Nail has been a household name.But playing Oz was just the beginning.That groundbreaking first series was followed with further hit TV shows like 'Spender' and 'Crocodile Shoes',a starring role in the big-screen adaptation of Evita alongside Madonna and a phenomenally successful recording career which included the No.1 single 'Ain't No Doubt'.
As a working-class lad growing up in Newcastle, this had been beyond his imagination - especially once his childhood innocence had been bruised by family tragedy,a brutal schooling and the stifling future his background appeared to have mapped out for him.It all went wrong.Drink and violence led,unchecked,to a spell in Strangeways (prison).He was determined never to go back.
But after his release,the way ahead was anything but clear.A few people made a difference,though - encouraging,nurturing and believing in him: his mother; the salt-of-the-earth Geordie brothers who gave him a chance when he was at his lowest; the young middle-class arts student who became his wife; and the writers,directors,actors and producers who saw something special in him.
A riveting,vivid portrait of a life led to the full,Jimmy Nail's story,told in his own words, without the aid of a ghostwriter,is one that will confound, intrigue and inspire in equal measure.
