On 2 January 2013, just a day before Jim Davidson was due to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house, he found himself behind more serious locked doors when he was arrested for false sex offense allegations. Searingly honest, No Further Action pays tribute to those who stood by him and takes a wry look at what life is like under public investigation.
In the early 1960s, Ronnie and Reggie Kray are the new princes of the London underworld and business is good. Their clubs and protection rackets stretch from the East to the West End of the metropolis but they need to expand. Hemmed in on all sides by the other, ever encroaching London gangs they need to break new ground. They set their sight on Bham, easy pickings or so they think. The Fewtrells eight brothers have already marked their territory. Now they stand alone against the vicious onslaught about to be brought down on their heads from two of the most feared names in British criminal History. This is the little known but true story of the bloody battle for Birmingham.
"A dramatic account of the deadly avalanche on Everest-and a return to reach the summit. On April 25, 2015, Jim Davidson was climbing Mount Everest when a 7.8-magnitude earthquake released avalanches all around him and his team, destroying their only escape route and trapping them at nearly 20,000 feet. It was the largest earthquake in Nepal in eighty-one years and killed nearly 8,900 people. That day also became the deadliest in the history of Everest, with eighteen people losing their lives on the mountain. After spending two unsettling days stranded on Everest, Davidson's team was rescued by helicopter. The experience left him shaken, and despite his thirty-three years of climbing and serving as an expedition leader, he wasn't sure that he would ever go back. But in the face of risk and uncertainty, he returned in 2017 and finally achieved his dream of reaching the summit. Suspenseful and engrossing, The Next Everest portrays the experience of living through the biggest disaster to ever hit the mountain. Davidson's background in geology and environmental science makes him uniquely qualified to explain why the seismic threats lurking beneath Nepal are even greater today. But this story is not about "conquering" the world's highest peak. Instead, it reveals how embracing change, challenge, and uncertainty prepares anyone to face their next "Everest" in life"-- Provided by publisher
Somehow the last decade saw Jim Davidson transformed from foul-mouthed stand- up comic to being the face of BBC light entertainment, Chairman of the British Forces Foundation and close friend of Prince Charles.
