So it's lucky that Terry has been known to turn his hand to the odd bit of writing.

But they also played a crucial and relatively unsung part in one the biggest social movements of our time.

With pinpoint accuracy Sheridan's characterisation of these decadent ruling classes give it a universal appeal as echoes of both the people and their antics are to be found in each generation.

There are stark differences between rich and poor in the Manchester of Elizabeth Gaskell’s novel, Mary Barton.
