Allan Beswick tells the remarkable story of two George Formbys, father and son. The first George Formby was a singing entertainer from the north west of England, but he was totally eclipsed by his son, who used the same stage name and went on to become the most succesful British entertainer of his day, going from poverty in Wigan to stardom in Hollywood. Archive clips and interviews with fans and family members paint an intimate and revealing picture.
