Oliver Reed may not have been Britain's biggest film star - for a period in the early 70s he came within a hairsbreadth of replacing Sean Connery as James Bond - but he is an august member of that small band of people, like George Best and Eric Morecambe, who transcended their chosen medium, became too big for it even, and grew into cultural icons. For the first time Reed's close family has agreed to collaborate on a project about the man himself.

Roger Daltrey is the voice of a generation. That generation was the first to rebel, to step out of the shadows of the Second World War...to invent the concept of the teenager. This is his story, from his birth at the height of the Blitz through tempestuous school days to his expulsion, age 15, for a crime he did not commit (though he was guilty of many other misdemeanours he'd got away with). Thanks to Mr Kibblewhite, his draconian headmaster, it could all have ended there. The life of a factory worker beckoned. But then came rock and roll....

The action was a series of fights in the ring and I played the boxing second. I had 34 entrances and exits, very few lines and a sponge. Throughout a career in theatre, television and film spanning over 75 years, actor Peter Vaughan has kept in mind a piece of advice given to him by his father: always see the ludicrous side of things. This may come as a surprise to those who associate him mainly with menacing, even brutal characters, in everything from Sam Peckinpah's Straw Dogs to Terry Gilliam's Brazil.

It began in Hollywood's golden age, when Ava was emerging as a movie star. But she fell in (and out of) love too easily. Mickey Rooney married her because he wanted another conquest. Artie Shaw treated her like a dumb brunette, giving her a reading list on their honeymoon. Neither marriage lasted a year. Then, after being courted by Howard Hughes and numerous others, along came Frank Sinatra. His passion for Ava destroyed his marriage and brought him close to ruin.

Wonderful insights and brilliantly narrated
I listened to this while in the South of France and really enjoyed the vignettes and anecdotes about the greats of the film and theatre worlds, some of whom lived in Cap Ferhat which I visited. Roger Moore's dry and self-deprecating style came over very well as delivered by the narrator. If one did not know better it could have been him! If you enjoy hearing about the great stars such as Niven, Bette Davies, Rex Harrison etc as well as about Roger's own experiences then you should enjoy this book as much as I did.

An excellent collection of anecdotes and memories
Even if you are not a fan of Roger Moore there can be no denying that he has enjoyed an amazing career covering 6 decades in film and TV, and has mostly jumped from one chart-topping project to the next. Consequently this book of memories and stories from a man who really has seern it, done it and has a drawer full of T-shirts, is a must for any fan of film or TV.
Listeners will know Jonathan Keeble's smooth, authoritative narration from his many 'History in an hour' titles, but who knew he did such an excellent vocalisation of Roger Moore's measured, deep voice.In no time at all you believe you're listening to the man himself.
And you are going to love the Diana Dors story.....
Highly recommended

An autobiography by a British Icon
Not the best written book in the world. Basically lots of name dropping and slightly clumsy links between anecdotes BUT I REALLY ENJOYED IT! A very likeable man who actually has had an life full of amazing stories and experiences with amazing people to share (unlike some modern autobiographers). I really grew to appreciate what a charmed and full life someone who embraces life can have and what a nice guy!
Worth a read if you're old enough to remember the seventies.

Disappointed
I'm one of the few Scotsmen who think Roger Moore was a better James Bond than Sean Connery.
I was looking forward to this book of memoirs but it disappointed me somewhat in that the stories weren't that remarkable or even very amusing. The stories do get better as you read though them (or listen through them) though.
The best thing about this audiobook is the brilliant performance of the narrator who is a very accomplished impersonator.

Great Stories and Great Storytelling
Extremely funny and interesting stories from the life of Roger Moore. As well as being a great book, it is read by a great narrator. Initially, I wondered why it was not bring narrated by Roger Moore himself, as I love Roger Moore's voice. But after a few moments I realised that Jonathan Keeble's fantastic impressions are the reason, and he does sound very similar to Roger Moore but with the added benefit of his providing great voices of both men and women featured in the stories, which make them all the more enriching. This book is all the more special now that Roger Moore has passed away. If you love great anecdotes, about great people, this may be one of the best books you could find.

A nice easy listen
On the premise that you're here because you liked RM in his TV shows and films, then you really can't go far wrong with this.
There are one or two expletive ridden tales which didn't really need to be in there, but unless you listen in mixed company that shouldn't be an issue.
The guy who reads this sounds so much like Roger that you soon forget it's not him, and the memoirs are a nice insight into his life outside of the Bond films.
A very easy listen which went by very quickly with an insider's view on some great times.

A really enjoyable read
Jonathan Keeble not only sounds like Roger Moore but his impressions of other well-known people are both superb and entertaining. The book itself is less of a ‘blow-by-blow’ autobiography but more a telling of tales and experiences. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to others.
