A warm and nostalgic read full of humour, from the BBC Radio 1 breakfast show DJ and bestselling author Greg James
When Greg James was eight years old, his nylon shell suit-clad idols the Chuckle Brothers ('to me, to you') signed an autograph with the message 'All the best for the future'- a mad thing to say to a kid, oddly formal, like the kind of thing you write in the leaving card of a colleague you don't know very well. Eight-year-old Greg had no idea what the future held, no clue what was in store for him as he carried on through life. How could he? No one really knows what's coming. We all have big dreams and small ones, ideas about how we want our life to pan out- when you'll get married, where you'll live, how many children you want, what you want to be when you grow up. We race through the milestones, desperate to unlock life's next level. But we're not really in control of much of it.
Whether it's entertaining the nation with his hugely popular BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show, finding the joy in cricket and F1 in his podcasts Tailenders and The Fast and the Curious, or when he is sharing his life with his adorable dog Barney, Greg James' focus is to put a smile on people's faces because let's face it, having fun is something of a lost art that we all forget to prioritise sometimes.
In All the Best for the Future, Greg shares how he thought his life would go, his reflections on the big life moments, the things that wind him up, the things that make him sad, the ones that make him laugh and the little passions and interests that he relies on to get him through the day - whether it is a good or a bad one. He tells us about who he is, who he thought he'd be and who he still thinks he could be. Most of all though, his message for everyone is not to let go of that inner child. We can all be a fully functioning adult, with bills to pay and a dog to look after, and still find time to play with a train set. Just because you grow older, it doesn't mean you have to grow OLD.
Greg James likes to think of himself as a celebrated radio presenter, author and legend. Your kids might have read one of his children's books. Chances are either Kid Normal or The Twits Next Door as they're the ones that sold well. If not, you might well have heard him on Radio 1 where he has been since 2007 and on the prestigious Breakfast Show since 2018. As well as all this and enjoying faffing about online and on the TV, he hosts many podcasts. Some might say too many. They include Tailenders and The Fast and the Curious. And in the summer of 2025, he was presented with an honorary doctorate by the University of York for his service to dead ducks. Greg lives with his wife, Bella Mackie (a much more successful and talented author), and their dog, Barney (not yet an author but it's only a matter of time), in a house somewhere in the world.
