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?

Going Off Alarming

Pas un nuage dans la vie paisible de Lucie, une gentille petite oie, qui jardine, récolte des fraises et cueille des fleurs. Tout change lorsqu'en une seule et même journée débarquent un loup, un ours et un lion bien décidés à l'effrayer. Pas de chance pour eux, cette drôle d'oie n'a peur de rien. Quand pour finir un dragon débarque dans la forêt, qui sera le plus effrayé ?

Oh là là, Lucie !

In this book my father dies. I almost die.*** My showbiz career winds down. And yet everyone keeps telling me it's the funniest book I've ever written. If I'd known that's what the public wanted, I'd have cancelled Pets Win Prizes and just got sick sooner. 
Along the way this time we encounter, among others, David Bowie, Kanye West (I think), John Cleese, Peter O'Toole, and have several adventures in the Fourth Dimension. Oh, and I can reveal the Man With The Foulest Mouth In All Show Business. Plus assorted high-kicking hoopla and a whole lot of rather stark stuff about what it's like to be told you could be On The Way Out. 
*** (SPOILER ALERT: I don't actually die.)
