`Keeping the Dream Alive` is a unique and intriguing memoir charting the life and times of how someone growing up on the wrong side of the tracks in a very poor working class environment in post-War Britain was able to journey to the glittering arena of Hollywood, providing an inspirational insight into how the one most likely to fail at school due to a special need battled and succeeded against all the odds to travel the world, founding and overseeing a prolific international independant television production company. But it is also a humorous journal and insight into the fertile imagination of a writer`s mind and what life is like away from the red carpet and spotlight in the global world of motion pictures and television. `Keeping The Dream Alive` reveals the unique story of how the cult series `The Tribe` came into being. Along with a personal quest to exist and survive amidst the ups and downs and pressures of a long and successful career as a writer/producer, culminating in being appointed an Adjunct Professor and featuring in the New Years Honours List, recognised by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for services to television.
