'An autobiographical four-act play of the life of Jack Rosenthal, one of Britain's finest television dramatists 'Perfect radio." - "Daily Mail".

When the late, great dramatist, Jack Rosenthal finally wrote his autobiography, he did so in the form he understood best - as a screenplay.

This unique Radio 4 series was abridged and adapted by his daughter Amy Rosenthal from her father's original scripts, and features his wife Maureen Lipman as well as a star cast including Stephen Mangan, Rupert Degas, Rebecca Front and Kerry Shale.

From his birth in 1930s Manchester, via school, evacuation, university and his time in the Navy, these four episodes cover Jack's marriage, fatherhood, and highly successful career as an award-winning writer.We hear about the excitement and buzz of his early days at Granada TV, where he met Maureen Lipman; the first broadcast of Coronation Street, for which Jack wrote over 100 episodes; the joys of family life; his experiences of working with Barbra Streisand and sparring with Hollywood; and finally the illness which was to claim his life.

Funny, touching, evocative and teeming with memorable stories and characters, this remarkable series is a fitting way to remember the hugely talented author of such classics as "P'Tang", "Yang", "Kipperbang" and "Bar Mitzvah Boy".
