Crew reaction
“Your book is most impressive…It is bound to appeal to Dr Who fans but it should also fill a gap in the market for those who want back stage stories or are interested in special effects.”
BERNARD WILKIE
“This is a book that I’m proud to be a part of.”

Magazines & readers comments
“The Doctor’s Effect is an amazing collection of interviews dedicated to those people that every Doctor Who fan secretly wanted to be – the ones who made the monsters, the models and the explosions. A wonderful reference work that I’ve consulted so often over the years that I’ve had to buy a second copy as I wore the original one out!”

“Many of those interviewed are new – and so too are their stories, a rare thing these days.”
