Buster Merryfield became a household name as Uncle Albert from the long running BBC television series 'Only Fools and Horses'. Uncle Albert’s famous catchphrase ‘ During The War...’ is relevant to Buster’s own life, as he served as an officer in Africa during the second world war. His reminiscences are amusing, touching and tell of a life quite distant from that as bank manager, director of amateur dramatic productions, father and husband. Buster broke into the notoriously difficult world of professional acting at a relatively late stage in his life. He offers us his advice on how to succeed in show business and tells us how he made it. A heady mix of luck opportunity, talent, experience, experiment, fearlessness, originality, faith and belief created this much loved figure of British television comedy.
