Real Lives This series of Channel 4's revealing biographical documentaries gives fascinating insights into a range of unforgettable characters both living and dead. They include: the man who impaled himself on the sword of truth; the singer who became a gay icon; the nation's teddy bear; the clown prince; the unrepentant cad; the royal governess who spilled the beans; the man who rode the chariot of the gods; the bored hedonist; the physicist whose bestseller few have read; the corpulent monarch; the legendary deaf and blind campaigner; the world's most riotously drunken drummer; the anarchist who invented Fascism; the indiscreet consort; the 'good' Nazi; the woman who 'mothered' a king; and the slave who revolted. These pages, which will be updated as the programmes are broadcast, give additional background information, plus sources of further information in print and online. Jonathan Aitken |
