"Born in 1940 in Chadderton, England, I grew up in Western Australia. I was an altar boy turned collection-plate thief, a good Catholic lad with a secret telephone-pole passion, a pint-sized Navy cadet, a smooth young crooner and radio DJ with a shameful gambling habit before becoming a loving family man, and one of Australia's most recognisable and well-liked television stars. Who am I? Tony Barber, of course."
In this entertaining and delightfully written autobiography, Tony takes us through his highs and lows and give us an insider's view of showbiz in this country over the past four decades. By turns colourful, funny, gossipy and moving, his story will surprise you. Whether it's reliving the seat-of-the-pants days of early TV, telling of the tragic accidental death of his father and his own subsequent guilt or going behind the scenes on his days as Australia's quiz king with 'Sale Of The Century', Tony is a marvellous raconteur and his journey is one you'll be glad you shared.
