From his early childhood, Paul Burton, now a prolific writer, producer, director and historian, always felt different, as though he were a square peg trying to fit into a round hole, and he was labelled a 'no-hoper'. However, this made him more determinded to prove everbody wrong, pursue his ambitions against all odds and carve out his own individually shaped niche. In effect, he has learnt how to make his own space.

 

This inspiring autobiography gives a unique and fascinating insight into the world of the arts, inviting the reader to taste all the wonderful ecletic falvours of the theatre, film, television and radio media, to be transported on tours around fascinating locations, and to meet the many interesting actors, actresses, performers, producers, directors and writers that Paul Burton has been privileged to encounter on his roller-coaster journey of ups and downs, many of whom had been his childhood comedy heroes.

 

With a fitting foreword by actress & crime writer Linda Regan, Making My Own Space illustrates how dreams and ambitions can become an exciting reality. Paul Burton's aim in sharing his story is to provide the sparks of encouragement for others to light thie own flame, reach for their goals, persevere through difficult times and think, "Well, if he can achieve those things, then so can I."

Paul Wilder always had it firmly fixed in his mind that he wanted to be on TV, but realised that he didn't have any specific talent. By his own admission he couldn't sing, couldn't play an instrument or act. However, once he had contrived ways of appearing on TV, his quest for TV fame really began in earnest.

 

In this new book the reader is taken on a light-hearted journey as Paul describes his numerous prolific game show and quiz show appearances (including two bans he received during the process). Wilder also reveals how his enthused quest has led him to appearing as a supporting artist on some of UK's top TV programmes, including: EastEnders, The Bill and Holby City.

 

This is an engaging book full of personality, which is befitting of the subject itself. Wilder is a unique and refreshingly enthusiastic individual with an inspiring zest for life. In reading Paul's life story, written with Paul Burton, one is able to learn more about the subject and his continuing quest for TV fame.

Catherine Henson (Michelene Heine) has been busily preparing for her wedding to her fiance, Steve Parker, for several months when both she and her friend and work colleague, Kim White (Emma Fletcher), find out seperately that a mutual friend, Amy North (Perdita Lawton), has been having an affair with Steve. Following a heated exchange with Catherine in her office about the affair, Amy leaves work early in an emotional state and is involved in car crash which results in her untimely death in hospital the following morning. The news of Amy's death results in the majority of her work colleagues, including Amy's close friend, Natalie Lewis (Freya Saddler), blaming the crash on Catherine. They argue that Amy's concentration at the wheel may have been greatly-reduced due to being upset from the row that had just taken place between her and Catherine. Still devastated by the news that her fiance has had an affair with one of her best friends, Catherine now finds herself being sent to Coventry by her colleagues who blame her for indirectly causing Amy's death.

Despite making it very clear to her daughter, Jessica Newman (Louise Michelle), and her future son-in-law, Tim Worth, that she does not approve of the impending marriage, Amanda Newman (Vicki Michelle) makes a last minute decision to attend their registry office wedding. However, Amanda's reason for attending the wedding is not to give the couple her belated blessing, but instead to make one last attempt at persuading her daughter not to marry her fiance. But despite all her best efforts, Jessica decides to go through with the wedding. Following the wedding it is left to a mutual friend of both mother and daughter, Melissa Watson (Emma Fletcher), to try and reconcile the two women. The task, however, proves fruitless and later, despite a desperate attempt by Jessica to solve the differences that exist between both her and her mother, Amanda literally closes the door on her relationship with her daughter. It is then that events take a turn for the worse in Jessica's relationship with her new husband which subsequently leads to a fateful outcome.
