FRI Based on glimmers of truth, BELIEVE IT is the hilarious, FRI bizarre, revealing (and, most importantly, untrue) celebrity FRI radiography of Richard Wilson. FRI He narrates the series, weaving in and out of dramatised FRI scenes from his fictional life-story. He plays a heavily FRI exaggerated version of himself: a Scots actor and national FRI treasure, unmarried, private, passionate about politics, FRI theatre and Manchester United (all true), who's a confidant FRI of the powerful and has survived childhood poverty, a FRI drunken father, years of fruitless grind, too much success, FRI monstrosity, addiction, charity work, secret work for FRI governments and fierce rivalry with Sean Connery (not true). FRI All the melodramatic staples of celebrity-autobiography are FRI wonderfully undercut by Richard's deadpan delivery. FRI (The title - in case you hadn't spotted - is an unashamed FRI reference to his famous catchphrase.)
