Description

• "It's a romp of a chronicle, a life according to Del Boy, the ultimate cheeky chappy." -- Daily Telegraph David Jason 's acting career has been long and varied: from his theater work in the West End to providing voices for Mr. Toad from The Wind in the Willows , Danger Mouse , and The BFG ; and from Open All Hours and The Darling Buds of 05 , to his starring roles as Detective Inspector Frost in A Touch of Frost .

Features & Highlights

  • Born the son of a Billingsgate porter at the height of the Second World War, David Jason was a reluctant electrician before finding his vocation - making people laugh - in the 1960s and 1970s. Then in 1981, kitted out with a sheepskin jacket and a clapped-out Reliant Regal, he found the part that captured the nation's hearts: Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter. Here he tells the story of life, near-death experiences and five decades as one of Britain's favourite actors.

Brilliant!

This is a super interesting book that I thoroughly enjoyed. It was very well-written--it had loads of humor and also heartfelt memories. I completely recommend it and it's made me revisit as many of David Jason's shows as I can!
