'''Daniel James Negley Farson''' (8 January 1927 – 27 November 1997) was a British writer and broadcaster, strongly identified with the early days of commercial television in the UK, when his sharp, investigative style contrasted with the [[BBC]]'s more deferential culture.

Farson was a prolific [[biographer]] and autobiographer, chronicling the [[Bohemianism|bohemian]] life of [[Soho]] and his own experiences of running a [[music-hall]] [[pub]] on east London's [[Isle of Dogs]]. His memoirs were titled ''Never a Normal Man''.
