An hour of tai chi first thing in the morning, an HIIT work-out with my personal trainer, a bowl of steamed kale and a handful of almonds for lunch, and then two hours of yoga in the afternoon followed by an ice bath – this is a routine which I’m sure would work miracles for anyone of any age, although I can’t be entirely sure because I haven’t myself adopted any aspect of it at any point.

From a trainee electrician to one of Britain’s most revered and loved actors, Jason shares heartfelt and hilarious wisdom with readers on subjects ranging from family to work, resilience to ebullience.

From a trainee electrician to one of Britain's most revered and loved actors, Jason shares heartfelt and. A Del of a Life' is a delightful autobiographical recounting from the esteemed actor David Jason, a man who has held a special place in my heart ever since a chance meeting during my school years. However, while the book is immensely enjoyable, it misses the mark of the absolute 'FANTASTIC' books that hold a rare 5-star rating in my collection.

I have never met Sir David, nor any of the others from the Trotter family or their circle of friends and acquaintances, but they shared our family living room with us on many an evening over many years, making us laugh out loud, often until it hurt, and even at times making us cry.
