'I'm not sure if I'll be in it'

Danny Baker’s autobiography is being turned into a BBC comedy drama.

The broadcaster has revealed that the first volume of his memoirs, Going To Sea In A Sieve, is being adapted for television.

He told the Daily Express: ‘I’m making a TV show of the first book. It’ll be a comedy drama on the BBC and out later this year. I’m not sure if I’m going to star in it myself yet.’

The book covers his childhood up to his first jobs in radio in 1980; while the second volume, Going Off Alarming is due out in September. That is subtitled ‘the house that Daz built’ in reference to the washing-powder adverts that made his name.

‘I was supposed to do it last year but making the TV show of the first one has taken up my time,’ he told the newspaper.
