Danny Baker`s third volume of memoirs barrels along at the same cracking pace as its predecessors, the bestselling Going to Sea in a Sieve (the inspiration for the major TV series Cradle to Grave & subsequent nationwide tour) & Going off Alarming. With his trademark exuberance, he recalls the years which included six years` involvement in the massive TV hit TFI Friday (`piling it up with hellzapoppin` ideas`)
- during which time he stalked John Cleese in New York, entertained David Bowie & Paul Mc Cartney, bizarrely reunites with Sir Michael Caine, gets befriended by Peter O` Toole & becomes a member of Led Zeppelin for 35 minutes. However, the tales are not reliant on celebrity alone, & the book comes packed with the usual"a of Baker family jewels, including Spud`s attitude to doctors, Danny`s trip to Amsterdam to get stoned for the first time (he fails), getting caught up in football rioting, & the now infamous `kaboom` of an outburst following his despatch from BBC London. & then there`s the cancer. Spoiler alert: this is the one in which he almost dies. Further spoiler alert: he doesn`t. Going on the Turn is a rollicking read that fizzes with wit, warmth & enviable joie de vivre.

But at eleven years old he was unexpectedly invited to live with his grandfather, Nelson Mandela, even though he had met him only once before, during a prison visit. &, slowly, they built a relationship that would affect both of them profoundly.

- a test of courage during which you become a man. At the end of this gruelling ritual journey, the elders of the Mandelas` tribe gathered & Ndaba`s grandfather was there, as ever, to share his greatest life lessons.
