Takes you right back to the intrepid walks round (and round) the baffling corridors of power that were the BBC and offers an insightful, witty glimpse of what really went on behind those doors. And anyone who's ever slipped into the parallel universe that is the Edinburgh Fringe will be instantly plunged back into the heady cocktail of earnestness and debauchery (without the hangover.) Endearingly revealing and alarmingly honest. -- Victoria Pile, Writer of Green Wing. A fitting legacy for the Doughnut, brilliantly skewers TV and lays bare the shambles behind it. As honest, shocking and funny as the world of television it satirises; brilliant if you ever lived in the office next to the lift, brilliant if you haven't and want to know what it was like. A gem. --Geoff Atkinson, British Comedy Writer, Producer and Managing Director of Vera Productions A vivid and passionate evocation of a crucial period in British broadcasting history. The writing is shrewd and funny and fuelled by the writer's obvious commitment and idealism. The characterisation combines unmistakable authenticity with a wicked satirical spin. --Alison Lumb, TV Drama Producer An insider's view of the BBC drama department; Heather Peace could be the Chris Mullin of TV Centre. --Ian Pattison, BBC Writer The whole book has a wonderfully authentic feel, clearly penned by someone on the inside! --Tony Grounds, TV Writer. Wickedly perceptive, revelatory, funny and at times shocking, this is less a work of fiction than it is an inside job, and all the better for it... The chortle-a-minute ending satisfyingly unites the beginning of the story and leaves only one burning question: when's the in-house screen adaptation? --Carmen Harris, Former BBC Scriptwriter A very thought provoking book, that has left me feeling quite inspired against the odds. I loved All To Play For, it's allows you to question yourself in all areas of your life, which will make you question, have you ever sold a piece of your soul. This book is excellent and really honest and hopefully for those who sadly put their dreams on hold, after countless rejections will read this book and get back on track, and not let those who don't get it, stop your dreams. --Angie Le Mar, Comedienne, Actor, Writer, Director and TV Presenter All To Play For is an amusing and engaging story, operating on many different levels. An absorbing read whether you worked at the BBC in the 80's - happy that you didn't - or simply enjoy being entertained by the lives of the diverse and quirky characters that did. Heather has created a sharp and satirical time capsule of a unique time in television history: at all times enlightening and entertaining. The winners and losers are never predictable and their rewards not always ones you might expect. --Simon Spencer, TV Producer
