I was a child who was a cuckoo in the nest Grayson says. In his bedroom not a scrap of wallpaper showed: every inch was covered with pictures of aeroplanes & every surface with models. Fantasy took over his life in a world of battles ruled by his teddy bear Alan Measles. He grew up. & in 2003 an acclaimed ceramic artist he accepted the Turner Prize as his alter-ego Clare wearing his best dress with a bow in his hair: another dream made real. Now he tells his own story his voice beautifully caught by his friend the writer Wendy Jones. Early childhood in Chelmsford Essex is a rural Eden that ends abruptly with the arrival of the violent milkman who becomes his stepfather leading to constant swerving between his parents houses & between boys clothes & womens clothes. But as Grayson enters art college & tries awkwardly to fit in
- I used to go to the Taboo nightclub in a black suit with skin-tight Lycra trousers & a jacket two sizes too small
- he starts to find himself & at last in his early twenties he steps out as a potter & transvestite. Direct & down to earth stuffed with insights imagination & wit & with illustrations of Graysons own work Portrait of the Artist as a Young Girl" is both a mesmerising read & a lifeline for all young boys who hug their dreams to themselves."

The extraordinary story of the young entertainers sent out to war to dance & sing. Once the Second World War had broken out it soon became clear that morale would be crucial in the military effectiveness of our armed forces. & so was born the Entertainment National Services Association or ENSA
- to send the nation's best singers dancers musicians & comedians from Noel Coward to Gracie Fields to entertain the troops however far away they might be. Over the course of the war ENSA gave their first break to such postwar stars as Tommy Cooper & Frankie Howerd as well as enshrining the young Vera Lynn forever as the forces' sweetheart. When Allied troops landed in Normandy in 1944 George Formby followed close behind while a distinguished troupe under Laurence Olivier was performing Shakespeare to British soldiers in Hamburg within weeks of the German surrender. Now Andrew Merriman has talked to surviving ENSA veterans from Vera Lynn to Dame Beryl Grey to piece together the extraordinary adventures of the ordinary men & women sent out across the world
- even to inhospitable dangerous Burma
- whose contribution to the war effort was song dance & laughter.
