  This is the story of the career of Lionel Bart, telling of breathtaking success and wealth, followed by a fall to the lower depths, and a long, slow crawl back to life. Towards the end of the 1950s, Bart's Oliver! brought audiences back to the West End theatre. But within ten years the creator of songs such as As Long as He Needs Me and Livin' Doll was a bankrupt - financially and morally. Broken by drink and drugs, deserted by his friends , he spent another decade in limbo, and remains there still.
