Whatever Happened to Simon Dee? by Richard Wiseman
Simon Dee was Britain's first celebrity chat-show host, with his own prime-time show on the BBC. This book presents the story of British television's Icarus, of how the media builds people up and then knocks them down; and, of a man who was once, one of the most famous people in Britain, and made a seminal contribution to broadcasting history.
