From collecting Dalek toys in 1960s South London to becoming one of Doctor Who's most influential historians, David J Howe's life has been shaped by Britain's beloved time-traveling hero. In this engaging memoir, Howe shares his journey from young fan to professional authority, offering unprecedented insights into Doctor Who's evolution over six decades. He takes readers behind the scenes of landmark moments in Who history, from organizing the first conventions to publishing groundbreaking books about the series. His story interweaves personal milestones with key moments in Doctor Who history, including his work with Jon Pertwee on the actor's autobiography and the development of BBC's merchandise empire.
More than just a fan's tale, this is the story of how Doctor Who shaped British popular culture through the eyes of someone who helped guide its legacy, making it essential reading for both devoted Whovians and anyone interested in British television history.
