It's Only A Movie: Reel Life Adventures Of A Film Obsessive - Plot & Excerpts
After all, we’re into the sixth reel of this damned movie and so far my illustrious radio mentor has been notable by his absence. If things carry on this way much longer it’ll be like Marlon Brando only showing up (fat and unrehearsed) for the last twenty minutes of Apocalypse Now, or Dame Judi Dench bagging an Oscar for Shakespeare in Love after having been on screen for less than nine minutes. In fact I’m sure there’s plenty of you out there who are only reading this because you know that I’m Mayo’s irritating 5 Live sidekick and you were secretly hoping this book would really be about him rather than me me me in the same way that everyone really wanted that movie Factory Girl to be about exciting art innovator Andy Warhol rather than self-obsessed clothes horse Edie Sedgwick (a role for which Sienna Miller was, incidentally, perfectly cast). So ladies and gentlemen, for your viewing pleasure, please welcome to the screen SIMON MAYO, who will be played neither by Mr Brando nor Dame Judi, but rather by Charles Hawtrey.
