PRODUCT INFORMATION
Summary
The dazzlingly funny second volume of Danny Baker's memoirs: the television years.
Description
Since my first book was published I have had countless friends and family members get in touch to say how come I hadn't included this story or that tale. Was I ashamed of being shot twice, once up the arse, in Jamaica Road? How long should a man live with such a secret? If by retrospectively dropping my trousers every few pages I can reveal a fuller picture of myself during these years, then so be it.
Besides. Being shot up the arse. In front of your mates.What else did I forget?Critic Reviews
“From presenting cheeky trivia on teatime telly to a disastrous panto sting, he's like a living poster of Kipling's If, happily talking over both Triumph and Disaster. ...his own talents, at least as a memoirist, are closer to that other driven south Londoner Spike Milligan.”
Rattles along at the same delightful and dizzying pace as its predecessor - DAILY TELEGRAPH
This book is a hoot, buzzing with Baker's impressive recall and nuclear-strength warmth and humour - OBSERVERLike its author, Baker's book is garrulous, preening, self-mocking and funny. It's as rattling to read as it evidently was to write. In the proud Baker tradition, it's a bit of a knockout - NEW STATESMANBaker writes as he speaks, with honesty and infectious joie de vivre - SUNDAY EXPRESSAbout the Author
