Lover, Sportsman, Family Man, and even Heavy Metal Singer, earning him the world record for Oldest Recording Artist.
The Life and Deaths of Christopher Lee takes the audience on a wild Munchausian journey across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and, of course, Hollywood as Sir Christopher returns from the grave to tell his own improbable, extraordinary, fascinating and often hilarious life story.
