About this listen

Danny Baker is a national treasure with a well-documented - thanks to the recent eight-part BBC TV adaptation - and colourful life. For over a quarter of a century, he has amused and entertained audiences on both radio and television. Beginning his career at the age of 15 in a small record shop in London's West End, Danny went on to become an acclaimed music journalist and started his radio career on BBC GLR in 1989. With a unique take on life and a lot to say, Danny's latest book is full of his trademark warmth, wit and insight.

Critic reviews

"Quite simply the funniest book you'll read all year...easily as funny, as self-deprecating and as wordly-wise as The Moon's a Balloon by David Niven...it's like Tom and Jerry written by a Cockney Roddy Doyle on Prozac. But funnier." ( GQ Online on Going Off Alarming)
"Rattles along at the same delightful and dizzying pace as its predecessor.... Baker loves a tale told at his own expense and they come thick and fast. He writes like he speaks, with hyperactive garrulity and a rhetorical flourish...there is something about Baker in full flow that is affirming." ( Daily Telegraph on Going Off Alarming)

It is sad that this is the last of the Candymans 3 books but in a few years their will be a 4th instalment. I laughed so many times while listening to the book his stories about his dad Fred are great. Has been a pleasure to listen to Danny's life story from sitting in the burning car aged 7 on to (Well nearly the 21 century. Great book 10/10.

This is the final DB autobiography and I enjoyed it as much if not more than the other two. Not many books over the years have made me genuinely laugh out loud and cry out loud, in fact I had to stop the car a few times to dry my eyes as I couldn’t see! You either get Danny or you don’t. Those that do are often people I like and get on with, those that don’t..........’em!

Absolutely Fantastic!
