Synopsis "Deadlines & Destiny"

From humble beginnings on a farm in rural Worcestershire to covering worldwide news events. Over a career spanning 65 years, Express and Star journalist Tony Bishop has diligently reported it all. Barrelling through the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, a military coup in Spain, and the threatening bullets and bombs of Northern Ireland with good old-fashioned dedication and aplomb. Tony bears witness to the horrors ? what was it like to shake hands with an imprisoned vampire killer, or experience the aftermath of three child murders at the hands of the 'Beast of Worcester'? Additionally there are eyewitness accounts of investigations and trials that shocked the nation, such as the shooting of newsboy Carl Bridgewater, and the kidnapping and murder of coach firm heiress Lesley Whittle by the 'Black Panther'. Deadlines & Destiny also takes a humorous look at the absurdities of the court of crime and human frailty ? why did TV star Noel Edmonds tell Tony: "What a wally I was"? Take a journey back in time, before mobile phones and the internet, to the days when newspapers were campaigning and king. A truly inspirational story.
