Sinopsis

This touching autobiography charts the incredible life of a Yorkshire-born lad whose life story could match any Hollywood script. Using his childhood talent of motorcycle racing he becomes a stunt rider performing at many local shows. When World War II breaks out his skill transfers perfectly to the role of despatch rider for the Royal Corps of Signals. This eventful journey takes him all over the world, till he is captured whilst serving in North Africa and transferred to a prisoner of war camp in Italy. Luckily, his farming expertise means he is sent to work on local farmland, which enables his daring escape, aided by the partisans. Despite living such a spectacular life, Nicholson remains a stoical, down-to-earth man and tells his story with an openness and enthusiasm which is heart-warming, and will remind you of the indomitable spirit which makes Britain great.
