"He's been around for a long time and he was Linda's brother."Eastman is a heavyweight and unlikely to be fazed by anything Lady McCartney can do: an experienced US lawyer with his family firm for more than four decades, he also runs MPL, the McCartney company that controls rights to all Buddy Holly songs.Sir Paul also turns to his older daughters - Stella, the clothes designer, and Mary, a photographer. Rumours have abounded that they were unhappy about their father's second wife and her influence on him Sir Paul doesn't have many close male friends "He was always mainly a family man," said the associate. However, he counts several colleagues from his long years in the music business as friends: his fellow Liverpudlian Elvis Costello and the Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour are among them. There is even his old friend Richard Starkey known to his fellow Beatles as Richie, never Ringo.Mills' lawyerANTHONY JULIUS, SENIOR PARTNER WITH MISHCON DE REYAAnthony Julius always seemed set for a glittering legal career. As a partner with the leading London law firm, Mishcon de Reya, he was an expert in high-profile libel and media cases, having represented Stephen Fry, Robert Maxwell and Jerry Hall among others.The first member of his Orthodox Jewish family to go to university - he got a first in English at Cambridge - he was schooled in the classics, but remains fully in tune with popular culture and is said to be a Quentin Tarantino fan. Mr Julius is said to be plain speaking and owlish, but highly erudite, having read Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur at the age of eight, and written books himself on T S Eliot, modern art and anti-Semitism.
Fry, whom he represented after he walked out of the West End production of Cell Mates, once famously referred to him as "probably the most intelligent man I have ever met".None of these qualities are believed to be behind Lady McCartney's decision to employ Mr Julius in the forthcoming divorce settlement with Sir Paul. It was the fact that Sir Paul had himself hired Fiona Shackleton, the formidable divorce specialist who represented the Prince of Wales in his divorce from Diana, Princess of Wales The Princess had hired Mr Julius. One associate of the McCartneys said: "It was just so obvious that Heather would hire Anthony Julius once Paul had asked Shackleton to represent him. Heather sees herself as a sort of Lady Diana figure and, of course, she couldn't resist it."The Princess of Wales wanted Julius to handle her case after he represented her against the Sunday Mirror and Daily Mirror, when they published pictures of her in the gym.
He helped her gain a £17m settlement; in return he got a present of an Asprey's silver blotter, inscribed: "To Anthony, thank you for giving me my wings, love Diana."Now 50, he is married, for the second time, to the journalist Dina Rabinovitch. Starring John Duttine, this much-admired downbeat version - more faithful to the original novel than the melodramatic 1962 film - had been kept on the back burner for two years until sufficient financial resources became available, thanks to a co-production deal with Australian and American television companies.Maloney also directed two "Play for Today" productions, Eve Set the Balls of Corruption Rolling and Aliens (both 1982), as well as Michael J. A more worldly wise Ford returned to Depression-hit Britain, on the run from the FBI, in the middle of the Jarrow marches.In the same year, Maloney realised his ambition to bring to television Douglas Livingstone's new, six-part adaptation of The Day of the Triffids, John Wyndham's classic science-fiction tale about the world being taken over by moving, flesh-eating plants. He also directed episodes of Paul Temple (starring Francis Matthews as Francis Durbridge's crime-novelist, 1969-71) and the police drama Juliet Bravo (1982).As a producer, Maloney resurrected When the Boat Comes In to make a final, fourth series in 1981,

four years after James Mitchell's stories of the poverty-stricken North-east between the wars had seen the Tyneside shipyard trade unionist Jack Ford (James Bolam) leave for the United States. He trained at Birmingham Theatre School and made his professional d?t with the West of England Theatre Company, based in Exmouth, Devon. He then worked in repertory theatre in Oldham, Sheffield and Chesterfield, where he met his wife-to-be, Edwina King, an assistant designer, and acted in a West End production of The Gazebo (alongside Ian Carmichael and Moira Lister, Savoy Theatre, 1961).Seeing opportunities in television, Maloney joined the BBC, starting as a production assistant, then becoming a floor manager on series such as The Forsyte Saga (1967), before directing Doctor Who and the 10-part adventure series Ivanhoe (starring Eric Flynn as Sir Walter Scott's knight, 1970), The Last of the Mohicans (with Kenneth Ives as Hawkeye and John Abineri as Chingachgook, 1971), its spin-off serial Hawkeye, the Pathfinder (a BBC co-production with US television, featuring Paul Massie in the title role and Abineri again as Chingachgook, 1973) and Woodstock (based on another Walter Scott novel, 1973). He boarded at the Blue Coat charity school in Birmingham, was evacuated to Staffordshire during the Second World War and passed the grammar school entrance exam.On leaving school, he became a journalist on the Birmingham Evening Dispatch and, after National Service in the RAF, decided to follow his love of theatre and experience in amateur dramatics by switching to acting.
