FREE GOING OFF ALARMING: VOLUME 2: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY PDF Danny Baker | 272 pages | 05 Jan 2016 | Orion Publishing Co | 9781780226088 | English | London, United Kingdom Going Off Alarming: The Autobiography: Vol 2 by Danny Baker I will also be filling a few holes that I left in the previous decades. For example, I managed to forget in Book One that I had been shot. It told the exploits of Danny's extraordinary childhood and the wild living of his teenage years. Now, he is 25 and it isand he embarks on an accidental and anxiety-induced career in television - going off alarming. With rollicking good stories from what he describes as 'a frankly crackpot life', Danny continues this stupendous chronicle with irrepressible verve and hilarity. Dozens of TV shows - many of them lousy - give up their backstage stories, and Danny's extraordinary family, Going off Alarming: Volume 2: The Autobiography his father Going off Alarming: Volume 2: The Autobiography, react to the ride throughout. Any autobiography that opens with the author being shot in the buttocks demands your complete attention. The funniest book Dylan Jones has read all year. Baker loves a tale told at his own expense and they come thick and fast. He writes like he speaks, with hyperactive garrulity and a rhetorical flourish. Book three will doubtless be out for next Christmas but, when it comes to the Pangloss of Deptford, you are happy to forgive him the indulgence. Like its predecessor, the book is a hoot from soup to nuts, easily as funny, as self-deprecating and as worldly-wise as The Moon's A Balloon by David Niven. If you have been unlucky in life, and have spent the bulk of it without coming into contact with him or his work, then this book is a wonderful introduction. What's it like? But funnier.

I left UK. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 September Sooooo funny! I left UK, so wasn't around for the rise of Danny Baker, but fancied the book. I read the first one, saw the dramatisation of it, and am now reading volume 2. I think the phrase "laugh out loud" is overused, but I can tell you, I laughed and laughed-out loud! Going off Alarming: Volume 2: The Autobiography had whooping cough and was in bed, every time I laughed, I dissolved into massive coughing fits- so tried very hard, NOT to laugh out loud, but then I would read about "the cellar" Tommy Cooper, " the tow bar"and blow meoff I would go again, laughing and coughing!! If you enjoy a good, honest, down to earth "showbiz" story, with Going off Alarming: Volume 2: The Autobiography frills, and "Spud" stories thrown in for good measure, you will really enjoy this one! Top critical review. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 Going off Alarming: Volume 2: The Autobiography Back in the day I thought Danny Baker was a hoot! My wife thought he spoke too fast, uttered loads of words, said nothing and was not funny. Judging by this book I think on balance she was right. I enjoyed the Going off Alarming: Volume 2: The Autobiography of his life in this book. They were interesting and described some of his experiences of the time, but they were often over-padded, lacked real colour, and seldom raised even a chuckle. They didn't really shed any light on him as a person I'm glad for him, he seems Going off Alarming: Volume 2: The Autobiography have again found someone to pay him by the word rather than the content. But I've a feeling he could do better, and maybe will in his next volume! Sort by. Top reviews Most recent Top reviews. Filter by.

Danny Baker in our part of the world West Midlands doesn't come onto our TV screens all that often, and in Radio he seems to have eluded national radio in general. Prior to going on a cruise I thought I should Going off Alarming: Volume 2: The Autobiography something to read, not too heavy and something I could put down at will. This book is funny almost from start Going off Alarming: Volume 2: The Autobiography finish bungling along from one story to another, name dropping has Going off Alarming: Volume 2: The Autobiography goes, it just happens to be that the names he's dropping are also the names I remember being at the forefront of British comedy. In a dimly lit library on a small boat I did laugh out loud and the more I tried to behave and be quite so as not to disturb other passengers the more I failed miserably. I have really enjoyed this book and have just ordered Danny's other two books. I like the way he makes you think he's just an ordinary guy bungling along in life from one pay check to the next and although this might be true to a small amount he is actually very talented, you have to be good otherwise you wouldn't be has successful as Mr Baker defiantly is. I hope you buy this book and I am sure that if you do you will also enjoy the stories, and characters brought to life through the pen of Danny Baker. One person found this helpful. This is the second part of Danny's autobiography,must admit didn't find it as funny as the Going off Alarming: Volume 2: The Autobiography book " going to sea in a sieve " but it was a great read and the thing about his books are you can actually hear Danny narrating the books in your Going off Alarming: Volume 2: The Autobiography Danny is now Going off Alarming: Volume 2: The Autobiography and seems to have a charmed life with everything falling into placethey fall in love with a house but its beyond their budget but guess what the old owner happens to be in the house when they look around and despite putting in a lower offer wants a family to have the house! Some of the bits are really funny the interview with Frank Zappa, the story of the mad family dog Twizzle and other tales had me laughing out loud, and of course the appearance of his Dad Spud who we met in the first bookwhat a character! Danny does admit how working on the Daz advert funded his lifestyle and brought him to the attention of the public probably more than anything else. Danny recounts his first meeting with Chris Evans and his friendship with "Gazza" which showed what a complicated character Paul Gascoigne is and was quite moving. This book moves along at a fast pace and sort of, as one door Going off Alarming: Volume 2: The Autobiography another opens on the career of Danny Baker and the start of a new adventure - I can't wait for the third part of his life to be published. After reading Part 1 last year and thoroughly enjoying it I decide to get hold of a copy of the follow up for Holiday this year.
