Reviews

""Some of my fondest memories of being on the set of Gavin and Stacey were listening to Larry Lamb tell incredible stories. He is one of the best."" James Corden ""Hooray, at last, an insight into the unsung hero, at the helm of making filming magic. This intriguing story illuminates the tightrope day-to-day tasks of a 1st assistant director and the crew, on and off a film set - that has never been touched on before. Mr Lamb pulls no punches. It is speedy, sexy and amusingly truthful. I loved it."" Celia Imrie ""An irresistible homage to the unsung heroes of filmmaking told by inside man and champion raconteur, Larry Lamb."" Camilla Barnes
