ABOUT PETER LLOYD: Three biographies of Golden Agers in, and it appears that Peter Lloyd has found his voice. Pictorial narratives which were driven by his passion and commitment (do not be confused about that despite what others might suggest) and his fine writing were but a mere precursor to his true calling: in-depth stories about the lives of complex people who all happened to be extraordinarily capable cricketers. Charlie Macartney may have bridged the Golden Age and the post-Great War eras but he was a force of nature on the sporting field from a young age. His biography goes so much further than has been attempted before. It is, as one critic has already suggested, as revealing about global migration and colonial and early 20th Century Australia as it is about the individual known throughout the annals of cricket as the 'Governor General'.
CREDITS: Presenter & Producer: Tom Ford
