Self Distract: from Doctor Who fan to Radio Times and Big Finish

Only you will get this. You’re already a Doctor Who fan, you know what it means and what it does to you.

What it did to me was shape a career that has seen me getting to write about the show, meet and interview the people who made it, film them for Radio Times. It also meant that I got to write for Big Finish’s Doctor Who range. If you want to know what that’s like, you’re in the right place.

Along the way, I’ve written a lot about Doctor Who and this book is a revised collection of the most popular pieces – Steven Moffat said one of them wasn’t bad – plus new interviews with the Doctor Who Restoration Team and essays on how the show is now fifty years old and I haven’t aged a bit.
