Roy Bottomley This Is Your Life book

Scriptwriter Roy Bottomley recalls this edition of This Is Your Life in his book, This Is Your Life: The Story of Television's Famous Big Red Book...


Sir John Mills... despite failing eyesight and having to use a stick... appeared with the rest of that remarkable theatrical dynasty when we surprised daughter Juliet at the Richmond Theatre on 1 October 1992.


Both he and Juliet's big sister Hayley had been 'booked' some years before, so they knew what it would mean to Juliet. She was starting a tour – with Hayley – of Fallen Angels, a play written by her godfather, Sir Noel Coward. Her godmother, by the way, was Vivien Leigh, then married to Laurence Olivier. Their telegram on her birth read, 'From Uncle Sub-Lieutenant Olivier and Aunt Puss'.


Noel Coward wrote and directed In Which We Serve, in which the eleven-week-old Juliet made her screen debut, as the daughter of a member of the crew of the famous HMS Kelly (played by Sir John). He recalled that in the middle of a deeply moving scene the baby Juliet 'let rip a report from her cot which would have done justice to any one of HMS Kelly's guns'. The whole film studios dissolved into hysterics.


When the storm subsided, Sir John and Lady Mills (authoress Mary Hayley Bell) looked at the director, totally mortified.


'The Master' muttered, 'Hereditary, I fear.'
