Danny Baker 14:24 - May 26 with 8954 viewsDeano69

Was a time a function last night where Danny Baker was the after dinner speaker. He announced his retirement and said that last night was his last public appearance. Heading off to Florida with just a bit of hobby writing.

Quite like him. Has had a remarkable life.

I used to love listening to him back in the 80's and 90's but I've gone off him a bit now for some reason.

Mine would be no sauce at all - although given the option I would have mustard.

His autobiographies are very good reads. I have a lot of time for him. He has met so many people and has so many funny and interesting stories to tell. He pretty much got to where he is today by sheer luck and happening to be in the right place at the right time.

They are indeed. His radio show is quite brilliant, but they gave him a TV show some years ago, and it was an unmitigated disaster.

Exactly the same. Stopped listening to him when he teamed up with the geordie lass off the FL show. She just seemed particularly dim and annoyed the hell out of me. Haven't tuned back in since. He's on the same time as Frank Skinner on Absolute, as well.

Used to love his brief stint on Radio 1, strangely enough.

Agree, both brilliant reads and would thoroughly recommend them, especially to anyone of my generation.

He's mentioned this a lot over the past year or so on the radio show (calling it "the third act") - although granted it's difficult to tell sometimes what is genuine with Danny. I get the impression his appearance in the jungle and the recent tour were the retirement fund. He's always liked Americasince I remember so not surprised they are off there.

He did speak quite a bit about the Jungle Experience, said he had always wanted to do it and had turned them down every year until last year knowing he wanted to call it a day.

Interestingly, when they do the bush tucker trials, they sort of make out they are over a bridge and in a clearing. He said they were put in jeeps and taken 2 or 3 hours drive away. The trials are done in front of dozens of people and they stop and cut and retake where needed.

Also said that there is no animal wildlife around the camp whatsoever. He mentioned looking at the lighting at night and you don't see a moth, fly or anything, he seemed to think they must completely blitz the area before they get there and is certain that rats or snakes that do appear are probably controlled/tame/trained..

Some really good anecdotes, his Dad sounds like a real character, the series he done about him with Peter Kaye is actually dumbed down to some of the stuff he got up to by all accounts.

Top, funny bloke. Even if a Millwall fan

Could be wrong but think someone bought him one for Cmas a year or two back, but don't think he really uses it.
