  • David Walliams
    David Walliams David Walliams is a comedian, actor and children’s author. He is also a judge on a television talent show and writes scripts for television. David raises money for the charity Sport Relief, which helps people in the world’s poorest countries. Childhood David was born on 20th August 1971 in Merton, London. He was the youngest child of Peter Williams, an engineer, and Kathleen Williams, a lab technician. From a young age he enjoyed dressing up; his older sister Julie loved dressing him up in girls’ clothes. David went to a boys’ school in Surrey, where his love of dressing up continued and his love of acting was formed. He was also on the school swimming team. Although he never won a race, he loved the freedom of being in the water. Aged 11, he performed in his first school play wearing a dress and made the audience howl with laughter. This was the moment he realised what he wanted to do with his life. Career Highlights After studying drama at the University of Bristol, David changed his surname from Williams to Walliams because there was already an actor with that name. David finally got his “big break” collaborating with his friend on a comedy sketch show. The show was extremely popular and David’s name instantly became a household name. David had a successful television career but he decided to try out a new vocation. He wanted to write a book with the important message that it’s OK to be different. In 2008, he published ‘The Boy in the Dress’ about a boy who loves football and wearing dresses.

  • John Birt's Mactaggart Lecture 2005
    John Birt's MacTaggart Lecture 2005 When Dawn unexpectedly invited me to give this 30th Anniversary lecture my immediate instinct quite honestly was to refuse - despite her formidable back-you-up-against-the-wall-you-can't-say-no-to-me powers of persuasion. My head is somewhere else now, I thought. Anyway, when the Bishop retires he should leave the Diocese. My presence will simply inflame old hostilities. But I forced myself to take a day or two to reflect. And I changed my mind. Truth to tell, I devoted the bulk of my life to this industry. I care about it deeply and passionately. And I stand before you tonight - one of the few MacTaggart lecturers ever to be eligible for a free bus pass - because I finally realised I really did want to talk to you - the people who drive and power this great industry - about a subject that increasingly sets me alight - the looming, intensifying threat to the UK's extraordinarily successful tradition of public service broadcasting. This will be my subject tonight. The health warning is that I speak purely in a personal capacity. Homecoming Now I'm here, I must say it is good to be back. I first immersed myself in this cauldron at its very inception, when there were only three television channels. And I've been here most years since, until I retired. The Festival was the brainchild of Gus Macdonald, a former shipyard activist and visionary. He and I had been joint editors of World in Action in our 20s - he still looking like a sinewy industrial worker, me with hair heading for my shoulders.
