Product Description

David Dickinson is a household name, the king of the catchphrase, undisputed darling of daytime TV, and a rising star. In his autobiography, David tells how he grew up in a working class district of Manchester, and reveals how he discovered at age 12 that he was adopted. David also describes his early foray into wheeling and dealing in the garment industry in Manchester, as well as his stint in Manchester's notorious prison, Strangeways. After building himself a reputation as an antiques dealer to the rich and famous with an eye for treasures, a chance meeting with a TV exec at a barbecue began David's journey to primetime TV on "Bargain Hunt," and in this autobiography David shares some of his experiences of sudden celebrity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bargain Hunt on BBC America, June 2, 2005
By Louise D. Patton "librarylou138" (Charleston, SC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a wonderful autobiography by the host of the great BBC America TV show - "Bargain Hunt"! David Dickinson has had a varied life from his childhood, his strict but wonderful "Nanny", finding out he was adopted, talking to and writing to his birth mother but never meeting her and his time spent in prison! Some passages are humorous, compassionate, and serious! He values those mistakes he made because he learned from them and he speaks to groups about this. As an agent for his wife Lorne, an entertainer, he has met extaordinary people and in his business as an antique dealer! Throughout this book you get to know him and you'll wish you could meet him and be his friend! I highly recommend it to every reader whether you've seen the show or not!

5.0 out of 5 stars David is a real Bobby Dazzler, all right, January 11, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have been watching David D. on BBC America for over a year and I am a real fan of his show, Bargain Hunt. I greatly enjoyed reading his book and learning more about him. He has taken what life has brought him and made a great success out of his experiences, good and bad. I wish I could meet him and be a contestant on Bargain Hunt. Here's to the Duke!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap as Chips, Cheap as Chips, October 1, 2008
A great biography about one of Britain's most talented antigue dealers and "showman". He is real and very much a character. His has facets to his personality that make him unique in today's business world. Great read!
