When a young girl is murdered a Police Inspector is sent to
investigate a prosperous Yorkshire household. It emerges that each
one of the family has a guilty secret - each one is partly
responsible for her murder. Alastair Sim stars in this classic
drama.
The World was my Lobster tells the story of George Cole's more than
70 years in the acting profession that began with a walk-on part at
the age of 14 in the stage musical The White Horse Inn in 1939, and
continues today having included such roles as David Bliss in the
radio and television versions of A Life of Bliss, Flash Harry in
the St. Trinian's films, and Arthur Daley in television's Minder.
Adopted when he was only 10 days old, George Cole grew up in south
London in the 1920s. On the day he left school he saw a newspaper
advertisement seeking a small boy to join the cast of The White
Horse Inn and was selected the following day. A year later, he
found himself in the West End play Cottage to Let playing a cheeky
wartime evacuee. Here he met legendary comic actor Alastair Sim
who, with his wife, took him as an evacuee to their country house
and coached him in the finer skills of acting. A flurry of films
and theatre performances in the late 1940s, after his RAF service,
culminated in a memorable role as a young Ebenezer Scrooge in the
classic 1951 film Scrooge alongside Sim. Henry V, Cleopatra (with
Elizabeth Taylor), Don't Forget to Write, Blott on the Landscape,
Henry Root, and Dad are among other titles for which he is well
known. But it was in 1979 that he landed the role that would
elevate him to international recognition when he was offered the
role of Arthur Daley in Thames Television's new series Minder
alongside Dennis Waterman. In The World was my Lobster, a title
taken from a classic line in a Minder episode, George Cole talks
candidly, humorously and sensitively about his adoption, his life,
his roles and many of the people he has worked with throughout his
long career.
