Rendition As Books David Jason: The Autobiography
The long-awaited autobiography of one of Britain's best-loved actors.Born the son of a Billingsgate market porter at the height of the Second World War, David Jason spent his early life dodging bombs and bullies, both with impish good timing.Giving up on an unloved career as an electrician, he turned his attention to acting and soon, through a natural talent for making people laugh, found himself working with the leading lights of British comedy in the 1960s and '70s: Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Bob Monkhouse and Ronnie Barker.
Barker would become a mentor to David, leading to hugely successful stints in Porridge and Open All Hours. It wasn't until 1981, kitted out with a sheepskin jacket, a flat cap, and 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 and Horses.
Never a one-trick pony, he had an award-winning spell as TV's favourite detective Jack Frost, took a country jaunt as Pop Larkin in the Darling Buds of May, and even voiced a crime-fighting cartoon rodent in the much-loved children's show Danger Mouse.
But life hasn't all been so easy: from missing out on a key role in Dad's Army to nearly drowning in a freak diving accident, David has had his fair share of ups and downs, and has lost some of his nearest and dearest along the way.
David's is a touching, funny and warm-hearted story, which charts the course of his incredible five decades at the top of the entertainment business. He's been a shopkeeper and a detective inspector, a crime-fighter and a market trader, and he ain't finished yet. As Del Boy would say, it's all cushty. With an introduction narrated by David himself.

You can actually hear Sir David's voice (or rather Del's Boys) as you read this book, lovely and funny insight to a very private man. On my list of favourite actors and great to read about other stars and all the plays/tv Sir David has been connected too, especially the "governor" Ronnie Barker. So glad I got to see both George Cole and David Jason on stage (sadly in different plays).loved this autobiography of david white aka david Jason
A first person account of the life of one of Britains most well known television actors.I rarely watch television or visit the cinema and Im not remotely interested in celebrity lifestyle so when My Life by David Jason was chosen for the U3A book group to which I belong my heart sank. I was completely wrong to have this reaction. My Life is a hugely entertaining and engagingly written book that I found totally absorbing and interesting.I found My Life quite funny and chuckled aloud on several

David Jason is a very popular man, actor, comedy rolls and more.I know when I watch anything with him in it I am going to thoroughly love it.Fools and horse to Frost showed a HUGE talent as both opposite dimensions.Read about his early days starting out as an electrician.Then he ended up being a " millionaire " as he said in his famous show.And in reality he succeeded.What a fabulous read
I have always been a big fan of David Jason and I love an autobiography. This one was a fabulous read, it made me chuckle, it my eyes well up in all the right places and whilst I was reading, I couldn't help but imagine him reading it to me. For a man that doesn't do a lot of interviews and is very private, he gives away just the right amount of personal details whilst still holding on to his privacy.Very well written and highly recommended to all David Jason fans.
What a nice man! Plain speaking, warm, with a love of the art of comedy that shines though his career and through his writing. We follow his rise to success cheering every inch of the way. A thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable read.Feelgood factor - 10/10.
I absolutely love David Jason. I got to know him through Open All Hours which I own now. Then I was lucky enough to watch all of the Touch of Frost on Netflix, which I now own them as well. I'm currently working on watching Only Fools and Horses through Netflix. I think he is a great actor and comedian. I was surprised to learn he had a baby at age 60 with Gill with her age being 40. They had little Sophie. There is the sweetest picture of David and her in the book. There are a good bit of
