Jim Davidson was brought up in south-east London, the youngest of five children of a father whose lifelong drink problem led to violent outbursts in the family home. Jim's big break as a comic came in 1976, when he won the "New Faces" television talent contest. Every year since then, he has starred in a top-rating, prime-time television series, and he is one of the UK's ten highest-paid television performers. While success is his trademark on screen, Davidson's private life has been nothing less than stormy, with a succession of marriages, and drinking binges which have led him into reckless, often violent situations. This is his autobiography.
