The revealing and comical memoir of one of Britain’s most iconic stars of stage and screen, Su Pollard’s book chronicles an incredible career spanning over half a century

“Candid, witty, and refreshingly human. She’s survived the highs and lows of showbiz with humour intact and a cheeky twinkle in her eye. She delights audiences with her stories from the frontlines of entertainment. She’s unforgettable” - Christopher Biggins

Su Pollard celebrates over 50 years in showbusiness in this hilarious and moving memoir, capturing a wealth of stories from her years on screen and stage.

Born in Nottingham in 1949, Su, now 76, began acting aged six. As a teen, she paid her dues singing in working men’s clubs before a life-changing appearance on Opportunity Knocks, during which she was famously beaten by a singing Jack Russell. Her first major TV show was 1970s’ sitcom Two Up Two Down alongside Paul Nicholas, and she’s barely stopped since. Beloved for her roles in Hi-de-Hi!, You Rang, M’Lord? and Oh, Doctor Beeching!, Su has more than earned the title of national treasure.

With her wacky sense of fashion and cheeky innuendo-heavy humour, she is not only a stalwart of British pantomime, but she has continued to work in theatre, TV comedy and some of our biggest reality hits, including Strictly Come Dancing, Celebrity MasterChef, BBC’s Pilgrimage, Celebrity Antiques Road Trip and Last Laugh in Vegas.

And, let’s not forget, her musical career - which includes leading roles in the West End in “Me and My Girl” and “Godspell”, a number 2 hit single, and a silver disc for her self-titled album! For every role she played, Su has a dozen madcap behind-the-scenes stories which will keep readers giggling all the way to the final page. She shares hilarious tales of her showbiz friendships with the likes of Ruth Madoc, Matthew Kelly, Paul Shane, Gloria Hunniford, Ray Meagher, and David Hasselhoff, and pulls back the curtain about what fame is really like.

Until now, Su has been very guarded about her personal life - but has decided it’s finally time to let fans see the real her, and talks about her marriage and her family relationships, the night she danced with Princess Diana, and the time Freddie Mercury asked for her autograph - making this one of the most engaging autobiographies of the year.

In writing the book Fully Charged, Su has collaborated with her friend and director Paul Boyd, writer of 26 musicals and dozens of plays, including Su's hit one-woman show Still Fully Charged, which she still tours across the country and internationally!
