Books by Denis Tuohy

DENIS TUOHY was born in Belfast in 1937. In April 1964 he blew out a candle in a London television studio to mark the birth of BBC 2 and was promptly nicknamed 'BBC Tuohy'. Over the next four decades the Belfast-born actor turned broadcaster was to cross countless other frontiers as a reporter and presenter for Panorama, This Week and many other features and documentaries on BBC and ITV. Internationally he has covered many of the biggest stories of the past half century, and has met some of its biggest names - from Orson Welles to Margaret Thatcher, from Muhammad Ali to cult leader Charles Manson's murderous 'family', from the Shah of Iran to Richard Burton. Back in Ireland he recently took up acting again and has appeared in RTE's top rated soap Fair City. He now lives in Cork.
