· Bringing "The Price is Right" to Britain in the 80's and turning it into a huge hit with Leslie Crowther.
· How he flies around the world introducing game shows including "Blind Date" to territories like Russia, Israel, Romania and other far-flung, and sometimes-dangerous places.
· He tells how he first discovered Dale Winton and produced over 500 episodes of "Supermarket Sweep" turning Dale into a major star along the way!
· He talks about how he built Geri Halliwell into a star in Turkey and how he told her that she had more chance of pulling a chicken out of her ear than becoming a singer!
· He gives an insight of what goes off behind the scenes at "Bruces Price Is Right". What it is like working with a showbiz legend. The making of Emma Noble and the part he played in building her career.
It's an evening of humorous and interesting stories about how a guy with very little visible talent was able to make it in a hugely competitive field. The only problem was he was having so much fun he forgot to make money along the way…but that's another story.
