L'autore:

George Layton has combined a successful acting career with a successful writing career.

On television he has both appeared in and written several very successful comedy series, such as Don't Wait Up, It Ain't Half Hot Mum and Minder, and, perhaps most famously, he was the narrator of Pigeon Street. In July 2000 George received an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from the University of Bradford in recognition of his work as an actor and writer.
