What do Florence Pugh, Monica Dolan, Toby Jones, Patricia Clarkson, and James Caan all have in common? Answer: Carol Morley. Born and raised in Stockport, Manchester, the youngest of three, Carol’s world was shattered by the tragic loss of her father. Grief hit hard. At just 11, she turned to books and booze, juggling life as her eccentric mother’s carer while throwing herself into a full-blown identity crisis—experimenting, rebelling, searching. By 16, she found a kind of refuge in Tony Wilson's infamous Hacienda Club, where the music was loud, the nights were long, and self-medication was easy. Four years of wild living, booze, drugs, and reckless abandon pushed her to the edge—until a moment of clarity sent her fleeing to London. What happened next? A First-Class degree from St Martin’s School of Art. A hard-fought climb into filmmaking. And an award-winning career working with some of the biggest names in the industry. Carol’s journey is one of chaos, creativity, and sheer determination. Take a look at some of her work 👉 https://www.campfilms.co.uk/…

Impressions, insecurity, and the struggle for control. Jan Ravens, one of the brilliant key voices behind BBC Radio 4’s Dead Ringers and a Spitting Image veteran, didn’t have the easiest start. Growing up in a household dominated by Liverpool FC and her father’s schizophrenia, she often felt powerless—until she discovered something that gave her control: comedy. She talks about impersonating teachers for laughs, dropping weight (and suddenly being the most popular girl at the disco), and why Thora Hird’s unwavering certainty became an unexpected source of comfort. She reflects on awkward and poignant moments with her father, her mother’s anger, and the lasting impact of living in a house where mental illness loomed large. But Jan didn’t just survive—she excelled. Inspired by local legend Glenda Jackson, she made it to Cambridge University , Footlghts, the RSC, Spitting Image, and beyond. From winning Celebrity Mastermind to dancing on Strictly, she’s built a career on fearlessly stepping up—even when she doubted herself.

Nicky Chinn co-wrote some of the biggest songs of the '70s and '80s, writing smash hits like Tiger Feet, Blockbuster, Devil Gate Drive, Hey Mickey, Living Next Door to Alice —all while battling severe bipolar disorder. Alongside his songwriting partner Mike Chapman, he helped shape the sound of Sweet, Mud, Racey, Suzi Quatro, Smokie, Toni Basil, Tina Turner, and Huey Lewis. But behind the music, there was another story. Nicky opens up about the brutal psychiatric treatments he endured as a teenager, multiple hospitalizations, and his lifelong search for stability. He shares insights into fame, fortune, and friendships, including his close bond with pop mogul Mickie Most. There’s also plenty of rock ‘n’ roll madness—from turning his bathroom into a discotheque to buying two Rolls-Royces in one day and snapping up Paul Newman's Hollywood mansion.

That lingering shadow shaped him in ways he only truly understood later in life. Finding his feminine side helped him navigate the world of trade unions and politics, but behind the scenes, he was battling booze, food, and sex addiction—a spiral that nearly destroyed his marriage, his health, and his life. Then came the wake-up call: a doctor’s stark warning that death was just around the corner. What followed was a fight for survival, redemption, and healing, with an unlikely trio of saviours—a dog, cancer, and the 12 Steps.

Veteran music industry manager Tim Clark sits down with JT to share his incredible journey—from growing up in Africa with his missionary parents to navigating the wild world of rock and roll. He opens up about running Island Records, working with legends like Free, King Crimson, Nick Drake, Paul Kossoff, Bob Marley, and Bryan Ferry, and the highs and lows of the business. Tim also offers an intimate look at his legendary partner David Enthoven's battle with heroin, cocaine, and alcohol addiction—and the remarkable story of his recovery through AA and NA.

A must-listen for music lovers and industry insiders alike!…
