and occasionally odd childhood.

Claudius, and Upstairs Downstairs. Others (and they really are too
numerous to mention) include Miss Marple, Tom Dick & Harriet, Murder
She Wrote, Murphy Brown, Caroline In The City, Diagnosis Murder and
Early Edition. He played leading roles in London’s West End, in such plays
as Design For Living, Three Sisters, Happy Family, The Common Pursuit,
Rookery Nook, The Waltz Of The Toreadors, The Millionairess, Sleuth, Stage
Struck and Run For Your Wife. In Los Angeles, he has appeared in Sleuth,
Present Laughter, My Fair Lady and Love! Valour! Compassion! His many
films include Death Becomes Her (with Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn),
Witchfinder General, Wuthering Heights, Waterloo, The Sorcerers, We Still
Kill The Old Way, We Still Steal The Old Way and others. He has a TV Times
Award, three Los Angeles Dramalogue Awards, a Los Angeles Times Critics’
Circle Award and was nominated for an Ovation Award.
Ian has written two novels – Loose Chippings and The Polkerton
Giant . He has also published a play, A Slight Hangover. His latest venture is
writing children’s books. Measle And The Wrathmonk, Measle And The
Dragodon, Measle And The Mallockee, Measle And The Slitherghoul and
Measle And The Doompit have been translated into about 15 languages and
are published all over the world.
Ian’s autobiography – Once A Saint – was published last year. The
