David Dickinson - The Duke: What a Bobby Dazzler

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.
