By David Jason

'This time next year, we'll be millionaires.'

So said Sir David's iconic Only Fools character, Derek Trotter. But such a dream was almost unimaginable for David growing up in a working-class family in North Finchley in the rubble of the Blitz.

Throughout his remarkable career, David's north star for navigating life's challenges has been his positive outlook and his resilience.

From a trainee electrician to national treasure, David's bumpy journey to success has overcome obstacle after obstacle.

Candidly revealing the ups, the downs, and the roundabout turns, David's latest volume of memoirs, This Time Next Year, is an uplifting, entertaining, and inspirational book offering an essential and unvarnished primer to leading a good life.

Told with his characteristic warmth and humor, David reveals the hard-won wisdom of a life doggedly led getting through one day, looking to the next, and always chasing what's new on the horizon.
