Beyond The Title is based on the entertainment platform and podcast of the same name, created by the writer, Josh Barry. Despite having Athetoid Cerebral Palsy, which has severely impacted his mobility and speech, Josh and his team have conducted interviews with numerous remarkable showbiz personalities over the last four years. These interviews have formed a catalogue of insights from the breadth of the arts that capture the essences of British entertainment, past and present.
In this book, we get a snapshot of the careers of some of the most distinguished personalities of the latter part of the twentieth century, together with a cultural breakdown of the world in which they live. It offers a contextual analysis of where these figures sit in the nation's psyche, and an exploration of their unique journeys to becoming some of Britain's biggest stars. In short, this is the story of light entertainment through the eyes of some of its most recognisable faces.
Josh Barry is a freelance writer for the screen, stage and page from East Cowes on the Isle of Wight. He graduated from Bournemouth University in 2010 with a MA in Writing for the Media, which was preceded by a BA in Scriptwriting for Film and Television. While he has lived with the physical limitations of Athetoid Cerebral Palsy since birth, Barry's razor-sharp wit and inimitable way with words has seen him carve out a rich and eclectic media career over the past decade. Whether he's producing radio documentaries and screenplays about the enchanting world of Light Entertainment, podcasting with industry icons like Jimmy Tarbuck, Barry Cryer, and Ben Elton, or authoring books like this one, Barry has consistently shown that a disability is no match for bucket loads of passion and even more talent. However, while the bright lights of showbiz may be calling, Barry remains happiest when he's back home, in the company of friends and family, enjoying a leisurely summer evening's stroll along the Cowes seafront. You can also find Josh's autobiography "Adapted" for sale online or by order from all good bookstores.
