Steve,
I read that David Jason biography a few years ago; pretty awful I thought
it, too.
I have heard him refute vigorously the twin buried in the back garden theory
and also thought the authors pushed the theme of "forever missing the twin
he never knew" a bit too fanatically.
He does sound a strange bod, though, and am not sure I shall read it. Will
hang on to it just in case. I adored "Weekending" in his day and have
enjoyed him in some things but, unlike many, couldn't bear "Only Fools and
Horses", one of his major loves and claims to fame, so that could put me
off.

Having recently read a biography of David Jason I can confirm that there
really is not much of a tale. The interesting bits were about his dead twin
who is supposed to be buried under a north London car park. Apparently he
died at birth and was never registered and so was buried in the garden of
the house where they lived. The house has now been pulled down and replaced
by a supermarket and car park. No, it wasn't that a big a house I think a
whole couple of streets got demolished. The biography also failed to mention
the years he spent in radio which is where I knew him from long before fame.
All those week ending programmes.
I tend to agree with Ian on celeb autobiographies.

Shell, I think this rash of autobiographies is a bit irritating. Re the
Ferguson one, the version from 99 was ghosted by the legendary Scottish
sports journo High Macilvaney and I can't imagine the latest one adds a
whole lot to it. I'm about as interested n reading Morressey's as I am in
having hot needles inserted in my eye balls, and I can't believe that David
Jason has much of a tele to tell. My impression is that they mostly end up
being disappointing and not very entertaining.
