Synopsis
Peter Bowles was born in London to parents who were servants to two of the most influential families in Britain. From New York's Broadway in 1956 to London's Theatre Royal Haymarket in 2006, Peter has starred in many successful plays, whilst playing villains in such iconic TV series as THE SAINT, THE AVENGERS, THE PERSUADERS, SPACE 1999 and THE PRISONER. He has also starred in many hit TV series including RUMPOLE OF THE BAILEY, ONLY WHEN I LAUGH, THE IRISH R.M., LYTTON'S DIARY and, of course, TO THE MANOR BORN. ASK ME IF I'M HAPPY is the personal story of an actor who was told on leaving drama school that he would never play an Englishman (and didn't), to becoming known as the quintessential Englishman (and isn't).

Review
'For all Peter Bowles's many triumphs on screen, it is clear from this book that the stage is where his heart is. He writes about life as an actor with elegance, wit and exceptional honesty' Sir Peter Hall 'Shrewd, witty and often hilarious. Peter is a born raconteur and writes as he speaks. Great entertainment' Richard Briers, CBE 'Magical and gloriously self-deprecating' Daily Mail 12/4 'Richly entertaining' The Stage 'Ask Me If I'm Happy is a model of the genre - witty, self-deprecating, revealing and brimful of theatrical stories' Daily Mail 28/5 'Bold and colourful' Good Housekeeping 'Retelling his 74 years as if it were a film, Peter Bowles writes candidly about the memories and feelings that have defined his life and career' Daily Express 18/3
