About this ebook
The dazzlingly funny second volume of Danny Baker's memoirs: the television years.
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?

He made it clear at the beginning of the book that it wasn't written as a linear time line, and that he wasn't going to dwell on show biz people or events. But, I wish he had have. The chapter about Gazza was by far the best. I've always liked Danny baker and found him funny, but I'm not really interested in what his dog was like, or what his cellar is like.

Loved the first book, loved this one too. Bring on the third, and fast. Danny's writing is laugh out loud funny. The tortoise story in this book had me howling....mainly as I have a tortoise who does similar things. Top read.
