Shulman joined the staff of the London Evening Standard in 1953 and, until 1991, wrote about theatre, film, television and politics with sharp humour and irreverence.He also became film critic for the Sunday Express and Vogue, and for 18 years he was a regular participant in BBC Radio 4’s witty talk show Stop The Week.
During this time he also wrote two novels, The Victors (Dell 1963) and Kill Three (Collins 1967); the Preep series of children’s books; and two serious books on the impact of television, The Ravenous Eye (Cassel 1973) and The Least Worst Television in the World (Barrie and Jenkins 1973), as well as a 90-minute play for BBC 2.
He and his fellow critic Herbert Kretzmer co-wrote the screenplay for the film comedy Every Home Should Have One(1970) and a paperback, successfully published by Hodder & Stoughton, to coincide with the film's release.
