  • 'Soho, sleaze and the gossip column'
    West End Extra, 30 Apr 2004

"He was the man behind the 20th century's most recognisable gossip column - and his private life and public beliefs made him the sort of person who would make ample copy for any scribbler today.

We will then proceed an hour later to his spiritual home (pun intended) The Wheatsheaf, to hear Paul Willets, the author of Fear and Loathing in Fitzrovia, the bizarre life of writer, actor, Soho dandy Julian Maclaren-Ross.
