It's not every day that an Eastenders legend comes to Cookham, but the Media Hub is delighted to be welcoming John Altman to its gathering at the Bel & The Dragon on Thursday, March 19th. John will be talking to producer and director Helen Quigley from B7 Media about his life and career.

From the moment, John exploded onto our screens in 1985 as Nasty Nick Cotton, he changed the face of TV villains for good. The son of Dot Cotton, his role in the BBC soap spanned 30 years. But there is more to John's story than just Nick Cotton - he will be sharing anecdotes about the challenges he has faced in his personal life, including his descent into alcoholism and his marriage breakup.

So, do join us on March 19th for what promises to be a brilliant evening. After John Altman's interview, you are warmly invited to stay and chat to other people in the industry and enjoy some of chef Ronnie Kimbugwe's canapés. You can also pre-order copies of the print edition of ‘In the Nick of Time’ via B7Media.com/shop/ and get them signed by John on the night.

The Media Hub is the south-east’s leading group of media professionals and includes print journalists, producers, directors, writers, bloggers, actors, photographers, media trainers and consultants. Previous guest speakers have included Theresa May, Princess Esméralda of Belgium, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Dotun Adebayo and Sandra Martin.
