Publisher's Summary

Narrated by cast members of The Tribe television series Matt Robinson (Slade) and Damon Andrews (The Guardian), Keeping the Dream Alive is a unique and intriguing memoir charting the life and times of how someone growing up on the wrong side of the tracks in a very poor working class environment in post-War Britain was able to journey to the glittering arena of Hollywood, providing an inspirational insight into how the one most likely to fail at school due to a special need battled and succeeded against all the odds to travel the world, founding and overseeing a prolific international independent television production company.

It is also a humorous journal and insight into the fertile imagination of a writer’s mind and what life is like away from the red carpet and spotlight in the global world of motion pictures and television. Keeping The Dream Alive reveals the unique story of how the cult series The Tribe came into being. Along with a personal quest to exist and survive amidst the ups and downs and pressures of a long and successful career as a writer/producer, culminating in being appointed an adjunct professor and featuring in the New Years Honors List, recognized by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for services to television.

An essential listen for anyone interested in the television and motion picture industry –and for fans of The Tribe who want to know the inside behind the scenes story of the show!

Produced by the Cloud 9 Screen Entertainment Group.

Full cast list: Narrated by Matt Robinson, Damon Andrews, Dylan James.

Love it!

I've always been a huge fan of The Tribe and really enjoyed the background. I'm also interested in behind the scenes information of the film and television industry. So I found it very interesting. I wish Raymond Thompson had participated in the audiobook reading but thought both Damon Andrews and Matt Robinson did an excellent job. If you are a fan of The Tribe, then this is well worth a listen. But if you don't know the series, then you might find it interesting as a semi-autobiographical story, as well as an insight into the television industry.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
