Publisher's Synopsis

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.
