FILM director, writer, food critic and advert star extraordinaire - calm down dear, it's Michael Winner!

In more than 40 years, Michael Winner has made more than 30 movies and directed stars like Charles Bronson, Sophia Loren, Joan Collins, Orson Welles, Marlon Brando and Anthony Hopkins.

Nowadays, he makes fewer films but he hasn't calmed down in public life. He is famed for his television and writing work - and his funny adverts - and his no-nonsense Sunday Times column, Winner's Dinners is enjoyed by thousands weekly.

He comes to Malvern Theatres next Thursday for an 'audience with' event when he'll be giving an insight into his life.

"Love him or loathe him, this will certainly make for an entertaining evening," said theatre spokeswoman Louise Russell.
