Publisher's Synopsis
Tim Bentinck has played the part of David Archer in BBC Radio 4's The Archers since 1982. He is also the Earl of Portland and the voice of 'Mind the Gap' on the Piccadilly Line. Timothy takes the reader behind the scenes of The Archers, the longest running drama series in the world. With wry, self-deprecating humour, he recounts his enormously varied life - a successful actor in TV, film and theatre, an HGV truck driver, a US tour guide, an inventor with UK patents, farm worker and a crossbencher in the House of Lords. This is an articulate, funny and thoughtful account of how to survive an insecure life.
