The bubbly, voluble, supremely self-confident, bitingly truthful and sensationalist bon viveur, film director, Sunday Times columnist and scourge of rip-off restaurants, Michael Winner, has an endless talent to outrage and amuse. In his colourful autobiography, Winner Takes All, he recounts his most historic and horrendous experiences and reveals the contradictions that make up Winner’s World; the shy schoolboy who mingled with celebs to write a gossip column aged just fourteen, the lover of fine food who wrote The Fat Pig Diet, and the man who makes chefs tremble, but whose catch-phrase is “Calm down, dear”. Witness them all in one inimitable personality at this must-see event.
