Absolute Pandemonium: My Louder Than Life Story

There's no one quite like Brian Blessed: actor, storyteller, mountaineer and coffin-maker. In this frank, riotous memoir he recalls his childhood in a Yorkshire mining town, his breakthrough on Z Cars, falling for Katharine Hepburn, raising hell with Peter O'Toole, meeting the love of his life, the actress Hildegard Neil - and punching Harold Pinter down a flight of stairs. No long dramatic pauses this time, Harold; he got one right on the side of the jaw. Wham!
