Enter the world of Gyles Brandreth – broadcaster, actor, writer, former politician – as he takes us on an extraordinary journey into his past.
From growing up in an apparently well-to-do but strapped-for-cash middle-class English family to his adventures in swinging London, Gyles encounters princes, presidents, pop stars and prime ministers, gets involved in everything from setting up Scrabble championships to examining Danish sex shops, and thrills us with countless tales of family, friends and acquaintances, both famous and infamous.
Filled with incredible and sometimes shocking stories, Odd Boy Out is the story of Gyles Brandreth’s fascinating life told with his unique wit and charm.
