When media mogul Rupert Murdoch wanted to revolutionise Britain's national newspaper industry, he turned to the indefatigable Tom Bell. The infamous Wapping Dispute of the mid-1980s represented the biggest gamble of Murdoch's career. He was hell-bent on freeing his News International business from the stranglehold of left-wing activists. Success hinged on whether he could get tens of millions of newspapers past thousands of militant pickets. Tom Bell made it happen and earned himself the nickname `The Man Who Never Sleeps'. It was the end of Fleet Street and another chapter in the remarkable rise of a man born into poverty, but destined for the top. Based on a mantra of `work hard, play hard', Tom Bell's story is an inspirational tale of rags to riches and of a man who always delivered.
