He is also the Earl of Portland and the voice of 'Mind The Gap' on the Piccadilly Line. Aimed primarily at the five million regular \u003ci\u003eArchers\u003c\/i\u003e listeners Timothy takes the reader behind the scenes of the longest running drama series in the world a British institution with a theme tune that Billy Connolly wants to be the National Anthem. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut that's not all. With wry self-deprecating humour Timothy recounts his enormously varied life - a successful actor in TV film and theatre a voice specialist working in every vocal medium. He's also been an HGV truck driver a US tour guide a computer programmer and website designer an inventor with UK and US patents farm worker house renovator and he sat as a crossbencher in the House of Lords for three years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike many acting memoirs this isn't a succession of thespian tales of freezing digs forgotten lines and name dropping. This is an articulate funny and thoughtful account of how to survive an insecure life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026gt;","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44791205986483,"sku":"9781472125132","price":580.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17478122419781472125132.jpg?v=1762854004","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/being-david-archer","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
