This inspirational book is Pat Roach's final goodbye to the world,
before his tragic death. The 'Gentle Giant' battled with cancer for
six-and-a-half years, before it eventually claimed him, in the
small hours of Saturday 17 July, 2004. His confidante and
biographer, Shirley Thompson, has combined Pat's final experiences
and thoughts, with over seventy tributes from close family and
friends, to produce a fascinating book. Pat's widow, Doreen,
step-brother Pete Meakin, and a host of celebrities, including
Kevin Whately, Chris Fairbank, Julia Tobin, Noel Clarke, Jimmy Nail
and Timothy Spall, all feature prominently. Tim Healy, who was a
particularly close friend, has written an entire chapter,
scriptwriters Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais provide an insightful
Foreword. Pat's wish that this last book should convey a message of
hope to fellow cancer patients, whilst also providing a measure of
funding for the Cancer BACUP charity, will be realised, as the book
is launched. His courage, combined with the warmth and affection
that he frequently inspired in others, shines throughout. But be
prepared for a few unexpected surprises, including a chapter that
could only be published posthumously! Two galleries, containing
over a hundred unique photographs, provide the crowning glory to
this truly memorable book...the third and final biography in the
"Pat Roach Trilogy."
Three more episodes from the first series of the cult TV show,
which sees a group of builders from England going over to Germany
to work on a site by day, and do their bit for European harmony and
understanding by night. The episodes are: 'Private Lives', 'The
Fugitive' and 'The Alien'.
