Synopsis

Random House presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of My Lives: From Del Boy to Granville, Pop Larkin to Frost by David Jason, read by Michael Fenton Stevens with an introduction by the author.

In his first book David Jason told us about himself from his early years training as an electrician through to making it as one of Britain's actors.

This autumn, in a follow up autobiography, he tells us about the many other lives he has lived – his characters. From Del Boy to Granville, Pop Larkin to Frost, he takes us behind the scenes and under the skins of some of the best loved acts of his career.

And in the process he reflects on how those characters changed his life too. The result told with his characteristic charm and wit is both funny and poignant, honest and heart warming.

‘A memoir that's as entertaining and warm as Only Fools and Horses.’ – Daily Mail

‘Deserves a huge round of applause.’ – Steve Wright, BBC Radio 2

This is a brilliant book! I loved it from start to finish... I am quite young and have therefore only really followed David’s career because of reruns on television. But let’s face it, David’s work has a longevity that will never cease. Only Fools and Horses is commonplace in my house on a Sunday. I......more

Goodreads review by Catherine on September 03, 2020

David Jason has always been one of my favourite actors who can do comedy AND drama superbly. I thoroughly enjoyed his autobiography which was released a few years ago. This book concentrates on some of the characters David has played through the years, how he managed to get the role and the actors h......more

Like listening to your granddad on a Sunday telling stories of his youthful. Lovely and heartwarming but monotonous after a bit. Love this man so much, shame he is a Tory.......more
