What the readers say…

“An unexpectedly moving and funny rites of passage tale of a boy and his extraordinary tin dog muddling through the BBC. Essential reading for anyone with a love of Seventies Doctor Who.“
 GARETH KAVANAGH – publisher Vworp Vworp

“ Cambden offers a deeply insightful glimpse into the behind the scenes world of Doctor Who.”
PAUL SCOONES – NEW ZEALAND DOCTOR WHO FAN CLUB

“What a fabulous book!… The book is wonderful for its behind the scenes tales. But it is even better for its rite of passage for a Doctor Who Fan.“
RICHARD RADCLIFFE

“As a fellow Doctor Who fan I felt compelled to write and congratulate you on a pair of fascinating books.”
DAVID SMITH

“It’s a fan’s perspective and realisation of a dream that not all of us are able to achieve, a magical journey through two of the best seasons in the Whoniverse. Steve’s quiet and unassuming manner transport us to a time seen through his eyes. No serious Who fan should be without a copy. In my opinion it’s the best book ever written on the series!”
TIM BAKER

“That book is one of my favourites. Not only good if you want to understand the workings of K9, but also if you are interested in that particular era of Doctor Who and, also, what it was like to work with Tom Baker. Fabulous book.”
