==Books== *''Feeling You're Behind'', an autobiography by Peter Nichols ([[Weidenfeld & Nicolson]], 1984) {{ISBN|0-297-78392-0}} 'Whatever interest my life may have had must have been exhausted. Yet there were better reasons than vanity β I needed the advance the publishers offered, which was far more generous than any given to me for a play; the theatre itself, once so alluring, now seemed past its best, the wrinkles showing, the kisses dry and dutiful; it would be a bitter pleasure to describe my disenchantment and blame the people who'd done me down; and if I didn't write a book about me, it was clear no one else would." Peter Nichols' preface, page xi. *''Peter Nichols: Diaries 1969β1977'' by Peter Nichols (Nick Hern Books, 2000) {{ISBN|1-85459-474-5}} "Did you know that [[Maggie Smith]] once accused [[Laurence Olivier]] of having "a tin ear and two left feet"? That's one of many enjoyably acerbic snippets in ''Peter Nichols' Diaries 1969β77'', a period that stretches from the composition of his ''[[The National Health (play)|The National Health]]'' to the conception of his masterpiece, ''[[Passion Play (play)|Passion Play]]''....Nichols tends to be touchy, crusty, disappointed with himself....yet wonderfully observant, honest and likeable." [[Benedict Nightingale]], ''The Times'' 13 December 2000.
