[edit] Information

An intimate glimpse into the life of Leslie Phillips, the legendary actor, writer and veritable British institution. Leslie invites the audience into his home for a frank and open conversation about his career, his family background and his beloved late wife. The informal yet revealing chat is interwoven with personal insights from some of the greats who have worked with him. From his first professional appearance at the newly built Pinewood - both the studios and Leslie having recently celebrated their 75th anniversary in the industry - up to the international phenomenon of Harry Potter, this heartfelt documentary shows how he gained not only an ardent film and television fan base, but also the love of his 'Twittersnappers', the affectionate moniker for his legion of online followers. Theatre, film, television, radio, books, computer games... and now Twitter - there is virtually no area of the media industry in which Leslie has not worked at some stage. From his now infamous Carry On roles to a Bafta-nominated performance in Venus together with Peter O'Toole, reinvention has been key to Leslie's success. The central theme to Hello: A Portrait of Leslie Phillips is change, both within the industry and in Leslie's life as well. Through the contributions of his friends and collaborators - including Sir Anthony Hopkins, John Hurt, Richard E Grant and Miranda Richardson - another aspect of Leslie is revealed: his determination, the devotion he has to his loved ones and above all his strength of character through thick and thin.
