Actor Sam Neill reveals he is being treated for stage-three blood cancer, writing in a memoir that he was 'possibly dying' from the illness diagnosed a year ago.
"I can't pretend that the last year hasn't had its dark moments," he said.

Sam Neill as Northern Irish detective Major Chester Campbell in the 2013 television series Peaky Blinders.
