We all know him as the young comic who struggled through the working men's clubs before winning New Faces and hitting the big time.We know him as Britain's most successful stand-up comedian. We know him as the host of The Generation Game and Big Break. But how well do we really know Jim Davidson? Despite his successful career,it hasn't all been smooth sailing for Jim.There have been some very tough times,especially over the last decade: a period which has seen him transformed from Jim Davidson, blue-mouthed and alcoholic stand-up comic,to Jim Davidson OBE, the face of BBC family entertainment,Chairman of the British Forces Foundation,and close friend to Prince Charles.'Where did it all go wrong,Jim' you might ask.As his brilliant new (then 2001) autobiography reveals for the first time,there is much more to the man than meets the eye.After four marriages and six years fighting alcoholism,Jim is now at last ready to tell his own inspiring story.
