Summary

Random House presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of My Lives: From Del Boy to Granville, Pop Larkin to Frost by David Jason.

In his first book, David Jason told us about himself from his early years training as an electrician through to making it as one of Britain's actors. This autumn, in a follow-up autobiography, he tells us about the many other lives he has lived - his characters. From Del Boy to Granville, Pop Larkin to Frost, he takes us behind the scenes and under the skins of some of the best loved acts of his career. And in the process he reflects on how those characters changed his life, too. The result, told with his characteristic charm and wit, is both funny and poignant, honest and heartwarming.

Missing a star...

I get that it takes a lot of time to complete an audiobook but if you're going to publicise your book at least read it to the listening audience!
Not knocking the guy read it (he'd be good as the book from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy!!) and the story is lovely. David, well done on a great listen.

Shame David couldn't have narrated the whole book.

David just narrated the introduction and nothing more. The story was very good but would have been better with David's passion.

Only Fools and Stories

Thoroughly entertaining listen. Shame it wasn’t Sir David’s audio . That was the only downside to the book

perfect easy listening

it's a shame David Jason didn't narrate the whole book (only the intro) but Michael Stevens does a great job and still brings the stories to life. found myself hanging on every sentence as I remembered the stories in my own mind and wondered if David Jason enjoyed them too. definitely recommend

Heartwarming and honest

Slightly disappointed that David only introduces the book, but never the less a fascinating listen and a cracking insight to the Man behind frost and Del boy. I have listened to both his books and would recommend them to anyone. From very humble beginnings, he's a man that can't help but be working class. He seems very honest , witty and down to earth and there are some interesting things uncovered in both books that I am sure even the staunchest fan didn't know.
