Description:

About this item:

Tony Selby was a prodigious talent. As well as his many theatre, radio and filmed work, he was also an accomplished musical performer, appearing in many musical theatre productions in the West End and the National Theatre. This is his story. By the age of twelve he made his professional stage debut in a production of Peter Pan sharing the stage with the theatrical and film star Stanley Holloway. In the early 50s he starred in some of the most pioneering children's on the BBC. By the time the early sixties arrived Tony Selby was in much demand to work with the new radical directors and producers such a Ken Loach and Joan Littlewood. His reputation for developing challenging roles and controversial issues led to an invitation to join the English Stage Company at the Royal Court Theatre. His first production there, a play called Saved, helped bring an end to theatre censorship. One role brought him to the attention of a younger generation was that of Sabalom Glitz, the inter-galactic space spiv and villain in the Dr. Who series. The Whovians took his character to their hearts.
