Gyles Brandreth Gyles Daubeney Brandreth (born 8 March 1948) is an English writer, broadcaster, wit, actor, and former Conservative Member of Parliament. Brandreth is known for his distinctive, "plummy" voice. Brandreth was born in Wuppertal, Germany, where his father, Charles Brandreth, was serving as a legal officer with the Allied Control Commission. After having moved to London with his parents at the age of three, Brandreth was educated at the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle (as it is called today), Bedales School, where he met his friend Simon Cadell, and New College, Oxford. He was President of the Oxford Union in 1970 and edited the university magazine Isis. He was described in a contemporaneous publication as "Oxford's Lord High Everything Else". Christopher Hitchens suggested that Brandreth "set out to make himself into a Ken Tynan. Wore a cloak." He went on to become a theatre producer, politician, journalist, author and publisher as well as, later, turning TV presenter. CONTENT: The Oscar Wilde Murder Mysteries Series1.
