Daniel Farson's Guide to Britain: Volume 2

Brash, bohemian and boozy, bon-vivant Daniel Farson became a larger-than-life fixture of Soho in the 1950s, socialising with the likes of artist Francis Bacon and photographer John Deakin. But he was also a ground-breaking investigative journalist, reshaping approaches to screen reportage with the many dynamic television films he presented for Associated-Rediffusion in the late 1950s and early 1960s, finding widespread fame and acclaim. In this second volume, join this vanguard intrepid investigator - who paved the way for later programme-makers of the Louis Theroux school - as he explores a nudist camp, declines still-living sea food served up by Fanny Cradock, listens to plant leaves with the aid of an eerie electronic machine, talks to Teddy Boys and Beatniks at the Whiskey a Go Go, visits a faith healer, surprises a Seventh Day Adventist, gets bonked by balloons alongside children's entertainer Uncle Bertie, is strongly advised to seek therapy by actress Shirley Anne Field, and goes soul searching with songstress-supreme Shirley Bassey. Plus: much, much more.
