The bizarre, (and, most importantly, untrue) celebrity radiography of Richard Wilson who is joined by David Tennant. From May 2012.

Believe it!

Celebrity autobiographies are everywhere. Richard Wilson has always said he'd never write one.

Based on glimmers of truth, BELIEVE IT is the hilarious, bizarre, revealing (and, most importantly, untrue) celebrity radiography of Richard Wilson.

He narrates the series, weaving in and out of dramatised scenes from his fictional life-story. He plays a heavily exaggerated version of himself: a Scots actor and national treasure, unmarried, private, passionate about politics, theatre and Manchester United (all true), who's a confidant of the powerful and has survived childhood poverty, a drunken father, years of fruitless grind, too much success, monstrosity, addiction, charity work, secret work for governments and fierce rivalry with Sean Connery (not true). All the melodramatic staples of celebrity-autobiography are wonderfully undercut by Richard's deadpan delivery.

(The title - in case you hadn't spotted - is an unashamed reference to his famous catchphrase.)

Richard is supported by a small core cast viz:

David Tennant

John Sessions

Lewis Macleod

Arabella Weir

And Jane Slavin

Who plays anyone and everyone!
