	ROBERT WALCH
		Not at all, says novelist Gyles Brandreth, who claims that the three men, all contemporaries, could have known one another.
		In this first of a planned trilogy of mysteries, Brandreth has Wilde stumble upon a rather ghastly murder involving an adolescent male model who was an acquaintance of the famed writer.
		Brandreth doesn't duck the issues that resulted in the charge and conviction, but since this novel unfolds before the events leading up to the court case, there is no direct allusion to it.

	The Monday interview: Gyles Brandreth \| The Guardian \| Guardian Unlimited
		Gyles Brandreth, TV:am survivor, teddy-bear enthusiast, and former patron of Lesbians for a Conservative Victory, is a ladies' man. Men, I suspect, don't warm to him because he personifies all they fear turning into - a fruity, risible, name-dropping, middlebrow dilettante.
		Brandreth is very bright but one suspects that he suffers from agreeing too much with the last person he talked to.
		Brandreth, as Dr Frank N Furter, stands in front of the rest of the cast, jerking his hips in a fashion that deviates markedly from the more rhythmically attuned behind him.

	Breaking the Code: Westminster Diaries, 1992-97 - Gyles Brandreth (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Gyles Brandreth's account of his five years in Parliament, and of his time as a Whip in the dying days of the Major Government, enjoyably trash that convention to give a memorable and entertaining account of days of drift and uncertainty.
		Brandreth has a good ear, and a sense of his own absurdity; he was placed to see disorganisation and disloyalty from close at hand, and is touching in his admiration for Major himself, whom he sees as a nice and able man with an impossible task.
		Gyles Brandreth's (he of odd jumpers and word games) account of how he came to be elected and serve as a Member of Parliament.

	Philip and Elizabeth: Portrait of a Marriage - Gyles Brandreth
		Brandreth's description of Elizabeth pulling King George V by his beard as they played "horse and groom" is priceless, as well as his getting down on all fours to play with her.
		Gyles Brandreth claimes to know the real Philip and Elizabeth, Well this book just shows one what an ego trip these so called royal insiders are on.
		Brandreth clearly has had access to Philip and Elizabeth, (though there is perhaps a touch more reference to Philip than Elizabeth) and a number of family and friends.

		Brandreth goes to great and mostly convincing lengths to disprove rumors of the Prince's extramarital affairs and the queen's tendency to lavish more affection on her corgis and horses than on her family.
		Brandreth also includes some of Prince Philip's own remarks and comments on the text (evidently The Duke read the manuscript well before publication), which adds an additional sparkle and means that this book is probably the closest we will ever get to an autobiography by The Prince himself.
		Brandreth has given us a picture of a nice couple who have soldiered on through numerous public and private storms,dutiful to their country and loving and protective of each other.

	The Big Interview: Gyles Brandreth \| Official London Theatre Guide
		Brandreth has, he confesses, wanted to be involved with a musical for approximately 29 years, and first thought of the pocket musical while he was running the Oxford Theatre Festival in the 1970’s.
		Brandreth’s conscious assault on viewers with gaudy knitwear betrays the informed wiliness which has allowed him to succeed in so many areas.
		Brandreth’s skill at keeping his private life just that was reflected in the fact that, unusually for a Tory MP, his political career was utterly devoid of scandal or sleeze.

	Observer review: Philip and Elizabeth by Gyles Brandreth and Princesses by Flora Fraser \| Review \| The Observer
		Gyles Brandreth's account of the Queen's marriage, Philip and Elizabeth, is ludicrously lubricious, while Flora Fraser's account of George III daughters, Princesses, shows that the royal family is little changed
		Brandreth even seems to have been sexually stimulated by proximity to the starchy monarch, and once ineptly flirted with her at a Buckingham Palace reception.
		His performance as a self-appointed equerry-in-waiting that day at the hospice suggests that he'd be a dab hand with a loo brush and would keep their porcelain throne pristine.

		The popular notion is that Brandreth is merely a jack of all trades, but actually he is the master of quite a few.
		Brandreth jokes a lot about being egocentric, and says the trouble with interviews is that you talk so much about yourself, but actually I think he uses this as a smokescreen.
		Brandreth is whispering, recreating Tutu's accent, his emphasis, the tension of what he said, with its pregnant pauses.

		The 1997 Labour landslide cost Brandreth his Tory seat in the House of Commons, and his relieved wife fondly imagined she had reclaimed him from the high-maintenance mistress that is Parliament.
		Brandreth returned to television, where he had earlier made a name for himself, but a stint as a campaign reporter during the 2001 election triggered a second crisis.
		This, after all, is the man who once sought to beat the world record for a live, televised kiss — an attempt aborted when the TV channel cut away to cover Leonid Brezhnev's funeral.

	After dinner speaker Gyles Brandreth
		Gyles is also a trustee of the British Forces Foundation, whose Patron is the Prince of Wales, and a former chairman and now vice-president of the National Playing Fields Association, whose Patron is the Queen and whose President is the Duke of Edinburgh.
		Gyles' colourful forebears include George R Sims (who was the highest-paid journalist of his day and who wrote the ballad Christmas Day in the Workhouse) as well as Jeremiah Brandreth (the last man in England to be beheaded for treason).
		A fascinating read in which Brandreth discusses his time at Westminster, from finding a seat, the general election and his arrival as a "new boy", to his duties as a Tory Whip in a time when the Tory majority was steadily declining.

		What Brandreth has compiled here is an extension of that idea in a claim to cover 100 musicals in 90 minutes, including the complete works of Andrew Lloyd Webber in sixty seconds.
		While Brandreth describes his own singing voice as a cross between that of Rex Harrison and Kermit the Frog, he is thankfully supported by four very fine singers.
		The major part of the evening has an electronic news ticker giving the year and the title of the musical the song is from, but slightly delayed so that quiz buffs have time to guess first.
