Born the son of a Billingsgate market porter at the height of the Second World War, David Jason spent his early life dodging bombs & bullies, both with impish good timing. Giving up on an unloved career as an electrician, he turned his attention to acting & soon, through a natural talent for making people laugh, found himself working with the leading lights of British comedy in the 1960s & '70s: Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Bob Monkhouse & Ronnie Barker. Barker would become a mentor to David, leading to hugely successful stints in Porridge & Open All Hours.

It wasn’t until 1981, kitted out with a sheepskin jacket, a flat cap, & a clapped-out Reliant Regal, that David found the part that would capture the nation’s hearts: the beloved Derek ‘ Del Boy’ Trotter in Only Fools & Horses. Never a one-trick pony, he had an award-winning spell as TV’s favourite detective Jack Frost.

David’s is a touching, funny & warm-hearted story, which charts the course of his incredible five decades at the top of the entertainment business. He's been a shopkeeper & a detective inspector, a crime-fighter & a market trader, & he ain't finished yet. As Del Boy would say, it's all cushty.

Perfect for Only Fools & Horses fans!

This paperback book has 392 pages & measures: 19.5 x 13 x 3cm approx.
