I was one of five white men on lots of panels, for years.

What do you hope for for your book? Overwhelmingly positive reactions from allcomers. Favourable critical reviews. I also hope it helps people break away from family secrets. That is what I really want it to do. Jude Rogers. I explain the abuse has been mentioned by his Australian publishers when this interview was offered to Spectrum. There are some lengthy pauses.
A: I want people to learn about the abuse in the book. Not in the newspaper. And I'm not going to I am never going to talk to journalists about it. Q: Well, it's OK — I've got lots of other questions So hold on — do you not want [even] any reference [to the abuse] in the piece without me asking you any questions?
A: The thing is, Ginny, it's going to come out, right? It's in the book. It might be reviewed and talked about and once the book's out, there'll be all kinds of things online and it's not something I can control or want to control, but I don't want to talk about it. I've quoted from the transcript at some length to convey the awkwardness of the moment and the bizarre premise of the whole interview. The untenable nature of not being able to discuss the guts and marrow of the book — the abuse is alluded to on most pages or the death of his mother which Davies also ring-fences as off limits and is literally what the memoir is about.
I found myself alluding to the abuse without spelling it out, using the catch-all euphemism "difficult childhood". Alan Davies, pictured in , was not allowed to mourn his mother who died when he was only six. But to focus on the exquisitely summoned nostalgia of his '60s childhood is like enjoying, for instance, the fabulous design of, say, mid-century furniture without a home to put it in.
The elephant in the room was sitting on my shoulder for the full hour. The larger point here is that Davies seems both aware and naive about what happens when you write a book and release it into the world.
He knows that once this happens, his precious cargo can be picked over and his childhood and life now become public property.
But the only way to have kept the genie in the bottle is not to have released it in a book in the first place. It made me feel sad that the defenceless child, who should have been protected, is still lurking so close to the surface.
It made me feel sad that the defenceless child, who should have been protected, is still lurking so close to the surface of this clever, genial year-old man.
Even at this remove, and having written the book about it, there was something so raw and naked about his response. As an actor, it's possibly surprising that he hasn't developed a script to deal with how to talk about this trauma. But then this was only the second interview he had done about his memoir with a journalist. Towards the end,when I had found the publicist's letter, Davies explained how "pissed off" he was about the difficult situation both of us had been put in.
Neither my editor nor I would have agreed to the interview if Davies' terms had been put to us, in advance. Later his Australian publishers confirmed "they would, of course, not stop us from covering any information that is available in the book.
I hate this. Well, in between, we did — thank goodness — find plenty to talk about and, despite the undeniable weirdness of the situation, Davies did open up about other areas of his life and when he didn't, that was revealing in a different way, too.
Mainly we talked about subjects around the abuse, the fallout from it; the lifelong depth charges from those formative years of never feeling safe. If you type in Alan Davies and Anger into your search engine, a number of stories come up relating to explosive historic incidents: the time he bit the ear of a homeless man outside Soho's Groucho Club when he had drunk too much, then — two years later — how he got beaten up by three men outside the pub they had all been drinking in, kicked in the head and had to go to accident and emergency at the local hospital.
More recently, there was an altercation with a climbing instructor who bumped into Davies' children in a leisure centre and then took the story to a newspaper.
