ROBERT SELLERS graduated from drama school dreaming of a career on stage and screen, but ultimately decided on film journalism instead. Since the early 1990s, he has written numerous features for national press, as well as biographies and books on film and TV and popular culture, including the bestselling Hellraisers (Preface, 2009). GARETH OWENS graduated with a degree in Applied Physics in 1994, and then ran off to join the film industry. After opening a production company at Pinewood Studios, he worked with director Edgar Wright in raising finance for his first feature and then, in 2002, moved downstairs into Sir Roger Moore's office to become his personal manager, executive PA and ghostwriter up until the actor's passing in 2016.
