James Hunt is remembered more for his girlfriends & wild personal life than for his skills in a race car. But the excesses of his glamorous life in the seventies cannot hide the fact that he was in many people’s opinion the fastest driver on the Formula One circuits in the 1970s. In an era dominated by the likes of Emerson Fittipaldi Niki Lauda & Ronnie Peterson Hunt stood out in terms of raw speed & the ability to effortlessly plant a Formula One car on pole position. The first chapter will be very emotional & tell the story of his death. It started on the Sunday morning of 13th June 1993 when he cycled the six miles from his home in Wimbledon to the BBC Television Centre in London’s White City to commentate on the Canadian Grand Prix with Murray Walker. When the race finished he cycled home & began a marathon snooker match which lasted into the early hours of the following day. At around 2am on Tuesday morning about to get into bed he suffered a massive heart attack & collapsed beside his bed wearing his dressing gown. For nine hours he remained undiscovered on the floor with his two dogs Jackson & Muffy laid one each side guarding their master. He was pronounced dead at 10am at the age of 46 his heart muscles had been fatally weakened by a life of hard drinking recreational drug taking & smoking cigarettes. In the book the author & his researchers have examined every detail of the driver’s life from his very earliest days to the last hours of his existence -and the people he left behind. It is a story many have tried to tell
- but never in such a complete way. The book is about James Hunt’s life his victories on the track the girls he loved & lost & the huge amounts of money he earned & spent. No stone has been left unturned no fact too small to include including his lifelong devotion to dogs & budgerigars. It is the first proper story of a man loved by all those that knew him well but despised by people who did not understand the rules by which he lived his life. It is a story of a man whose like will almost certainly never be seen again.

The Sweeney broke the mould for British cop shows. Until it was broadcast they'd been rather stolid sometimes quaint dramas like Dixon of Dock Green Z-Cars & Softly Softly about policemen
- or even bobbies: not cops. They were about upholding the law: not breaking it: about smart blue uniforms not kipper ties & long hair. They were about preventing or punishing violence
- not about inflicting it with pleasure on villains. Then in 1975 The Sweeney burst onto commercial television. Based on the notoriously corrupt activities of Scotland Yard's Flying Squad it followed two dishevelled uncouth detectives Regan & Carter played by John Thaw & Dennis Waterman who hurtled around unsalubrious parts of London in a battered Ford Granada roughing up anyone who failed to spill the beans quickly enough. Where Dixon of Dock Green would bid his viewers Goodnight all 1" with a cheery salute this pair snarled " Shut it!" at toe-rags who spoke out of turn & " Put 'em away love" at gangsters' molls whose boudoirs they'd burst in on. Philip Glenister's Gene Hunt in Life on Mars is both parody & homage. Now Pat Gilbert has written the book on this cult cop show interviewing dozens of people who made it happen from screenwriters to stuntmen. It's an essential companion to one of the DVD box sets."
