Anotace knihy

In Telling Tales out of School, journalist and reviewer Jonathan Sale digs around in the memories of some of Britain's most prominent personalities - from movers and shakers to television performers - for personal reminiscences of their school and college days. Meera Syal, Rory McGrath, Clare Balding, Jeremy Vine, Cherie Blair, Steve Redgrave, Chris Packham, Terry Jones, Melvyn Bragg, Gina Yashere, Duncan Bannatyne, Peter Bazalgette, Konnie Huq, Gary Lineker, Simon Schama, the Astronomer Royal, Zippo the Clown and 200 other well-known and interesting broadcasters, writers, actors, singers, scientists, politicians, sportsmen and sportswomen recall the schools and universities that made them the way they are. In these intimate conversations with Jonathan, they pay tribute to the teachers who opened doors and they sneak on the ones who slammed doors in their faces. What emerges during the interviews are fascinating personal stories and revealing insights into what makes a winner. What sparks light your fire? Are you a teacher's pet or the classroom pest? Which opportunities did you seize? Some incidents will ring true for us all, such as not knowing where the loos are on your first day, with predictable results for John Humphrys. Pat Cash fled from his school and ran home twice - on his first morning. Billy Bragg and David Bailey were told by careers masters that all they could look forward to was, respectively, the Ford Dagenham production line and digging holes in roads. Myleene Klass moved to a school where you really needed to own a horse; she didn't, but she bought herself the sort of coat that you wore if you did. At times hilarious and at times incredibly poignant, Telling Tales out of School will transport all of us back to our formative years.
