A funny, touching and self deprecating account of growing up in 1970s Wolverhampton. Ian looks back at his deluded teenage years.
Being a trainee butcher at the Co-op is only a temporary situation before he reveals his true artistic talents to the world. No careers officer or personnel manager is going to stop him producing his rock album, publishing his poetry or mounting his first exhibition.
A world of awkward romantic relationships, The Sex Pistols, Crossroads and Angel Delight. An honest and clear-eyed view of his younger self. Yes, he freely admits, ‘I really was that stupid.
Listeners to BBC Radio 4 may be familiar with Ian’s recent play Looking for Oil Drum Lane which told the story of Galton and Simpson creating Steptoe and Son which received excellent reviews
