Dickie Chambers's one asset, it seems, is a smooth and seductive voice. His career, at first distinguished only by its indistinction - as a stagehand at a provincial theatre, then a filing clerk at the BBC - is unexpectedly propelled into orbit when the usual late-night radio announcer swallows a locust. Dickie steps into the breach and knows for the first time the meaning of success.From gentle midnight intonations to TV quiz show presenter and so-called 'personality', Dickie's rise through the fledgling media world of the 1950s is meteoric, his indistinction the perfect vehicle for the requisite BBC accent and brilliantined charm. But as his success grows, so does the likelihood that dark spectres from his past will reveal themselves...
