Will Write and Direct for Food
The latest production from Alan Parker is a deft satire on the madness of making movies. It opens with a sex scene, closes with a chorus of carping critics and stuffs the middle with a bonfire of crass producers, venal directors and preening stars.Xan Brooks, The Guardian
Sir Alan Parker, the film director, has used his skills very effectively to bite the hand that signs the cheques. Spleen is vented on the Hollywood jacks-in-office, the casting couch, the showbiz party, the hookers. They are jokes about high hopes and big disappointments and there's a strong New Yorker flavour about them - and sometimes a touch of Thurber. Oliver Pritchett, The Telegraph

Metro-land was published annually from 1915 until 1932 and featured evocative descriptions and photographs of historic villages and rural vistas of the area north west of London, Middlesex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire served by the Metropolitan Railway. Not only was it a guidebook designed to promote the area for leisure excursion travel from London but it was packed with facts for the commuter about the cost of season tickets, journey times and also with numerous adverts for all the new housing developments springing up during the 20's. This 1924 edition of Metro-land was published just as the property and leisure boom was under way and also had the extra purpose of promoting The British Empire Exhibition of 1924/25 at Wembley.
