David Jason is one of my favourite actors and this free rambling monologue about some of his most famous roles was a delight to read.

A lot of wording literally copied from the previous autobiography, made all the more obvious by my reading them sequentially. But he does have a lot of good anecdotes. It's made me want to rewatch the Inspector Frost series again.

I enjoyed this looking more at the programs that he has made and the stories around them. Most of the book is regarding only fools and horses, maybe more could have been said about the other shows. Still a good read and an easy writing style.

This isn’t a sequel to the brilliant autobiography by David Jason, (My LIfe), it’s more like an equal - as in equally brilliant, informative, fascinating and so entertaining! He really has a brilliant way with words. The titles of the two books do exactly what they say in the tin. There was a bit of necessary repetition in here, but a lot more depth and detail of his work since Only Fools and Horses. And what he’s been doing since he wrote the last book. He’s refreshingly honest and his voice is very clear throughout. You can’t help but feel good after reading this. Now I need to buy some serious DVD boxed sets, so I can watch the programmes he has stared in (as I’ve only seen Danger Mouse & Count Duckula).

“Fun to recall those times and those laughs and those scenes. But I don’t go back and watch the show these days. Sometimes I might stumble across it when I’m flicking through the channels and I might pause for a while and watch a bit, just to remind myself what it was like, and that I was there. But I never watch for long. It’s too painful, looking at that young bloke on the telly - the bloke I still think of myself as being, really, inside my head, until I look in the mirror and remember that I’m not. How bittersweet to see yourself as you once were. It’s one thing in a photograph, but moving images on the television are so completely realised, somehow, and I find their impact is far heavier. It’s a version of yourself that’s gone, but television makes it alive. That’s a very difficult bridge to cross in my mind.”
