Keith Waterhouse tells Paul Allen about his Leeds childhood in the 30s, life as a reporter, and his new musical based on 'Lost Empires'.At the time this programme was first broadcast, Keith Waterhouse was a columnist for the Daily Mirror. When Robert Maxwell took over the paper in 1986, Waterhouse left to write for the Daily Mail, a job that he continued to do until shortly before his death in 2009. As well as over a dozen novels and numerous screenplays, he produced texts on English grammar, Waterhouse on Newspaper Style and English, Our English (and How to Sing It), which remain essential works for writers of all disciplines and backgrounds.
