He is the latest British screen hero, a man with a folllowing that spans the world : a tall, balding, shuffling Englishman with a taste for the shady deal, an unlikely gamble and a few drinks... if someone else is paying.
The book covers his life from birth, growing up, through his early career to initial success and quite a few ups and down in between, finishing with his time in the late 1990's in Heartbeat. An entertaining and educational read, his life and some of his experiences were very often not at all what I was expecting from the man.
