About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Told with characteristic warmth and humour, David Jason reveals the hard-won wisdom of a life doggedly led getting through one day, looking to the next, and always chasing what's new on the horizon.
Throughout his remarkable career, David's north star for navigating life's challenges has been his positive outlook and his resilience. Sometimes, art has seemed to imitate life. 'This time next year, we'll be millionaires' was what his iconic Only Fools character Derek Trotter once said. Such a dream was almost unimaginable for David growing up in a working class family in North Finchley in the rubble of the Blitz. But David’s never-say-never spirit could not be dimmed.
From a trainee electrician to national treasure, David’s bumpy journey to success has overcome obstacle after obstacle. Candidly revealing the ups, the downs, and the roundabout turns, David’s book will uplift, entertain and inspire readers, offering an essential, unvarnished primer to leading a good life.

Impressive life of Sir David Jason on and off screen
The detailed life of his career , the ups and lows of his life . From voice overs to on stage and behind to In front of the camera . My fondness for Danger mouse . Del Boy . Inspector Frost . Open all hours to still open all hours . Porridge , everything is a memory for me watching laughing and getting drawn into the story . How loss of Ronnie Barker and an impact on his life . and losing Grandad in OFH . Not just an Actor but a Kind and feeling man .

Excellent listening
This book has helped me at a most difficult time in my life.....undergoing chemotherapy. It took me away whilst sitting for hours on end as the treatment took place.
Thank you, thank you.
It is funny, thought provoking, relates to times I remember back in the 60's and 70's. It helped me escape my current situation in a gentle and relaxing way.
5 stars!

An enjoyable gem
This is an enjoyable, amusing tale that relates Jason's journey as a jobbing actor and also gives insights into how many memorable comedies were crafted. Sorry ehrn it ended - I'll definitely get his other book now!
