Misty Moon Presents George Layton Tells Fibs & Stories
George Layton is probably best known as a theatre, film and TV actor: The Doctor in the House/ Doctor In Charge/ DoctorAt Large series (1969-91); It Ain’t Half Hot, Mum (1974-75); Minder (1979-82); The Sweeney (1975); EastEnders (2011-12); Fagin in Oliver!; Mr Cellophane in Chicago. In the early 1970s he started the long-running Sunday night BBC TV “That’s Life” with Esther Rantzen.
He has also had a successful writing career, having created two award-winning television series Don’t Wait Up (six series, 1984-90) starring Nigel Havers and the recently late Tony Britton, and Executive Stress (three series, 1986-88) starring Penelope Keith.
George also wrote many of the various “Doctor” series, as well as My Brother’s Keeper (1975-76), Robin’s Nest (1979-81), and early shows for On The Buses (1972-73).
However, Misty Moon supporters may not be aware of his best-selling books, The Fib, The Swap and The Trick, three celebrated collections of linked short stories focusing on post-war Britain, each story narrated by a nameless self-confessed coward from a single parent family.
Tonight, George will talk about balancing what was an already successful acting career with what became a full time writing career, and will read some of his stories evoking memories of the 1950s.
After the show there will be a meet and greet with the audience and chance to purchase George’s books.
