COLIN BENNETT'S Book Acting on Television, a craft book for young actors, based upon his legendary courses at RADA, is available from book shops for £10, ISBN 978-1-905493-11-1, or on-line www.actingontv.com. It's very funny and cuts to the chase with most topics, from getting to know casting directors to learning lines. Some of it is quite tedious but if you need to know the facts then... get over it, grit your teeth and read!
