Jim Carter: Lonnie Donegan and Me (2016x65)

Date de diffusion: Avr 17, 2016

Downton Abbey’s Mr Carson may have hung up his butler’s jacket for good, but even as his final scenes were being shot, actor Jim Carter was already at work on a remarkable and long-cherished film about the King of Skiffle, 1950s singer Lonnie Donegan. In Jim Carter: Lonnie Donegan and Me, the actor shares his life-long passion, which began aged 11 when he saw Lonnie play at a seaside variety theatre on a summer holiday, as he tells the story of his profound impact on pop culture and a generation of British musicians who went on to conquer the world.
